Caleb Williams couldn’t connect with Troy Aikman…
Caleb Williams added some intrigue to the fury from Bears followers who thought Troy Aikman was overly crucial of the workforce and quarterback during their “Monday Night Football” win over the Commanders.
Williams said on Wednesday that he and the star ESPN analyst have been unable to connect for the usual manufacturing assembly that happens between the printed sales space and workforce’s coaches and star gamers.
“I didn’t get to meet with him, tried to meet with him, I reached out and tried to meet and that didn’t happen,” Williams said. “I was here late and times didn’t meet up, lifting or whatever the case may have been. I tried to call him after the day I was supposed to meet with him and didn’t get through.”
ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky responded on X: “Maybe it’s nothing. This is odd.”

Aikman was crucial of the position of some of Williams’ throws in the 25-24 Chicago win, suggesting that even though the passes have been accomplished, he was not giving his receivers a likelihood to advance the ball additional.
“At the least, you try to give them a catchable ball,” Williams said, per the Chicago Sun-Times. “At the maximum, you want to give him the best ball, so he can go run. I think there were opportunities for that. I think there were opportunities we missed. I think there were opportunities that we’ll hit. It’s still our fifth game that we just played.”

“Nations Cap good being back!
‘It was lucky’ -TA
‘Whooptie Doo’”

Williams was at Halas Hall late that night, and by the time he completed and called Aikman, he didn’t reply — so the 2 never ended up connecting. pic.twitter.com/kguK9nSWrq— Dave (@dave_bfr) October 15, 2025
