After a strong 2025 campaign, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is aiming to make a historic impact during the upcoming NFL season. Speaking on Maxx Crosby’s podcast, Williams revealed his focus on leading the team to an offensive record, driven by his determination to maximize scoring opportunities and set new standards.
I really want to become the greatest offense this year,
Williams said via Bleacher Report.
So that’s really on my mind, being able to find ways to put up points every single time we’re out there. And so, you know, honestly, whatever, whatever that comes down to. And I think that starts with the first two of what I said is, you know, getting these completions, starting drives, getting drives going, and then, you know, helping with protection or making sure that I deliver some easy, easy, what we call runner balls. And getting these drives going and scoring. I think the average was 38.5 or something like that from Denver. That Peyton [Manning] year, where he had 50 touchdowns. … I think it’s 39 is the number, you know, average score. That’s what we’re going for.
Bears’ Offense Poised to Challenge NFL Records
Fans of the Chicago Bears have reason to be optimistic as Williams enters his third NFL season with confidence and skill development to back him. The Bears aim to improve on last year’s 441 points scored and 6,282 yards gained, eyeing league-leading marks that have stood for over a decade. The 2013 Denver Broncos hold the record for most points in a season at 606, while the 2011 New Orleans Saints lead in total yards with 7,474.
With an offense ranked sixth in yards per game (369.2) and ninth in scoring (25.9 points per game) in 2025, the Bears have a strong foundation to build on. Their roster features a deep wide receiver corps including Rome Odunze, DJ Moore, and Luther Burden, complemented by tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. Running backs Kyle Monangai and D’Andre Swift showed clear progress last season, enhancing the team’s offensive balance.
Williams’ Leadership Bolsters Team Confidence
Williams’ individual performance continues to solidify his role as a key playmaker, having set a franchise record with 3,942 passing yards and accounting for 30 total touchdowns in 2025. Notably, he orchestrated an NFL record seven comeback and game-winning drives for Chicago last season, demonstrating his poise under pressure.
Coaching and Team Strengths Suggest Positive Outlook
Under the guidance of head coach Ben Johnson, widely praised for his offensive acumen, the Bears seem equipped to elevate their performance further in 2026. This combination of talented players and strategic leadership positions Chicago as a legitimate contender to set new offensive benchmarks and push Caleb Williams closer to his NFL record ambitions.
