Williams explained on SNF that Reeves is a fan and that the actor reached out with supportive words, calling Williams a “beast.” Williams described his mindset as déjà vu from watching John Wick, noting that the character’s mentality influenced his own approach to the game. In that return, Williams completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards and one touchdown, marking a strong performance and a positive sign that his injury was not derailing his progress.
Bears head coach Ben Johnson commented on Williams’ return, highlighting the quarterback’s work ethic during the layoff. Johnson praised Williams for studying the game plan, finding open targets, and delivering plays effectively, expressing pride in his preparation and execution. Williams also said he felt confident from the outset of the game, with that confidence shared by his teammates.
With the John Wick-inspired mindset paired with the on-field results, Williams gave Bears fans another reason for optimism about his trajectory and the team’s outlook moving forward.
