In a recent promotional video for the 2024 Topps Chrome Football card series, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams stirred controversy by autographing a card with the message, “Green Bay sucks,” followed by his initials and jersey number.

Williams’ bold gesture comes on the heels of the Bears’ 24-22 victory over the Packers in Week 18, marking a significant milestone as he became the first Bears rookie quarterback to defeat Green Bay.

In response to the autograph incident, Bears General Manager Ryan Poles addressed the media, emphasizing the importance of sportsmanship and respect between teams.

While acknowledging the competitive nature of the sport, Poles stated, “We encourage our players to express themselves, but it’s crucial to maintain respect for our opponents. We’ll address this internally to ensure our team upholds the values we stand for.”

The Packers organization has yet to issue an official statement regarding Williams’ autograph. However, the incident has fueled the historic rivalry between the two teams, adding another chapter to their storied history.

As the offseason progresses, all eyes will be on Caleb Williams to see how he continues to develop and lead the Bears. Fans are hopeful that his confidence and performance on the field will translate into a successful 2025 season.
