Caleb Williams Just Got a Nickname… and It Might Be the Coolest in the NFL
The Chicago Bears are now 6-3, and this week the national media can’t stop talking about Caleb Williams after his clutch performance in the fourth quarter against the New York Giants. A new video released by NFL Films captured the dramatic final minutes of the game, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at Williams calm demeanor on the sideline. One moment stood out above all: veteran backup quarterback Case Keenum turning to Williams before the game-winning drive and saying, “They’re gonna get you the ball back. You’re going to win us this game.” That line alone sums up why Keenum was such a smart signing — his leadership and belief clearly fuel this young offense. The full video can be seen below.
Adding to the moment, the Bears have already given Williams a new nickname: “Iceman.” During Chicago’s first snow game of the season, teammates and coaches were caught calling him that on the sideline and during the game. The nickname quickly spread across social media, especially after wide receiver Luther Burden dropped a comment on Williams’ Instagram post using it too.
It fits perfectly — a cool, composed quarterback who thrives when the pressure is highest, playing in the heart of Chicago’s freezing winter. “Iceman” might just be one of the best nicknames for a Bears quarterback in a long time. The fourth quarter numbers for Caleb Williams this season speak for themselves:
- 670 total yards
- 5 total touchdowns
- 1 interception
- 100 passer rating
Caleb “Iceman” Williams.
