In Week 6, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams recorded his 50th career touchdown pass during the Bears' 31-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Williams, who returned from a hamstring injury after missing three games, passed for 305 yards in the game. His performance places him in a select group alongside Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, being one of only three quarterbacks with fewer than 15 interceptions at the time of reaching 50 touchdown passes. Williams, the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, continues to draw comparisons to Mahomes, who is also making history with the Kansas City Chiefs.
