Bo Nix and Caleb Williams enter third NFL seasons after productive 2025 campaigns

Broncos quarterback Bo Nix and Bears quarterback Caleb Williams enter their third seasons in the NFL following successful individual performances in 2025. Nix recorded seven game-winning drives and five fourth-quarter comebacks for Denver, helping the team secure an 11-2 record in one-score games. Williams registered six game-winning drives and six comeback victories for Chicago as the team went 7-4 in games decided by eight or fewer points. Broncos coach Sean Payton emphasized that these shared experiences in tight contests provide both players with a foundation of confidence as they begin a new season. While acknowledging that prior success does not guarantee future results, Payton noted that both quarterbacks have demonstrated an ability to navigate late-game pressure. Both players are expected to look for further development as they begin the 2026 campaign.
