It isn’t a secret by now that Green Bay Packers fans hate Caleb Williams. The feeling is very much mutual. The Chicago Bears’ young quarterback has achieved more against the green and gold in his first two seasons than most have in the past 30 years. Across five games, Williams is 3-2 against the Packers, with all three wins coming by way of 4th quarter comebacks. The two most recent were arguably two of the most backbreaking losses Green Bay has ever suffered in the rivalry’s history. The fact that Williams isn’t afraid to rub it in with celebrations during and after games only ramps up the hatred dial even further.
Most Packer fans are content to bash the Bears quarterback online at every opportunity, calling him overrated and overhyped. However, one industrious fan put this heated dynamic to good use. Packers Point is a prominent TikTok channel for a Green Bay fan. He decided to shoot a video that had him reacting to Williams’ highlights until he became impressed. It was quickly revealed that he was being forced to watch them against his will, tied to a chair, and gagged.
It was a perfect encapsulation of the trauma he’s given Packers fans. Not to mention an A+ skit.
Caleb Williams is creating entrepreneurs everywhere.
Most Packer fans would produce the normal types of videos. Podcast-oriented discussions where they break down all the reasons Williams isn’t nearly as good as people think. He got lucky last year. Luck doesn’t last in the NFL. You’ve probably seen variations of it all offseason. Full credit to this kid. Rather than follow that path, he decided to get creative. He leaned into the pain and torture the Bears caused him last season, acknowledging that Williams was the root cause of it all.

Unsurprisingly, it cracked 69,000 views in just a few days. Credit where it’s due. Most Green Bay fans wouldn’t have the courage to set their bitterness aside in the name of entertainment. Moments like this are what make the rivalry fun. No doubt the Packers have reveled in the misery of Bears fans for decades. They chant the “Bears still suck” all the time. Nobody is innocent in this. It comes down to how you handle the darker moments. This is one of the more productive ways.
Here’s to more creative ideas in the future.
Caleb Williams isn’t going anywhere. He is establishing himself as a legitimate franchise quarterback. He has Ben Johnson and an assortment of capable weapons. Most of all, he has a clear dislike for Green Bay. When those ingredients come together, it often results in competitive battles. This isn’t the Happy Time of previous years when the Packers got to breeze through a laundry list of not-good-enoughs like Erik Kramer, Jim Miller, Rex Grossman, Kyle Orton, Jay Cutler, Mitch Trubisky, and Justin Fields.
It was only a matter of time before the Bears finally got it right. Nothing lasts forever. Green Bay isn’t handling this new normal too well. They’d best get used to it. Otherwise, they run the risk of underestimating Williams, which never goes well for his opponents. Every era where Chicago has had the superior quarterback has seen them dominate this rivalry. Are we getting the first tastes of that again? They’d better hope not. Else what Packer Point showed will become a recurring nightmare.
