🔴 TENSION: Caleb Williams Angers 49ers Fans by Saying “They Suck!” — Nick Bosa Immediately Responds with 5 Words That Leave Him Speechless
Santa Clara, CA – June 20, 2025 — NFL rookie quarterback Caleb Williams may have just ignited a firestorm that could follow him all season long—and possibly his career. In a moment of brash confidence that quickly spiraled into full-blown controversy, the Chicago Bears’ new signal-caller bluntly insulted the San Francisco 49ers, saying:
“They suck. Overrated. Period.”
The comment, made during a post-practice interview with a Chicago-based podcast, went viral in seconds—and 49ers fans weren’t the only ones furious. It didn’t take long for reigning Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa to clap back in a way that had social media shaking.
Bosa’s response? Just five words—but five words that carried the weight of an entire franchise:
“Score first. Then talk later.”
💥 “They Suck”: The Comment That Sparked NFL Chaos
Caleb Williams, known for his swagger and outspoken nature, was asked which defenses he’s least concerned about in the NFC.
“Honestly? The Niners,” Williams said, laughing.
“They suck. Overrated. I’m not worried.”
He went on to suggest that San Francisco “hasn’t scared anyone since 1995,” referring to the franchise’s last Super Bowl win. The reaction was swift—and explosive.
Within an hour, #TheySuck and #WhoSucksNow were trending nationwide, with fans, players, and analysts weighing in on what many considered a disrespectful and uninformed take.
💪 Nick Bosa’s Ice-Cold Response
Rather than engage in a war of words, Nick Bosa—widely regarded as one of the league’s fiercest and most disciplined defenders—let his message do the work.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Bosa posted a black-and-white image of himself sacking a quarterback, with the caption:
“Score first. Then talk later.”
Those five words became an instant sensation, widely interpreted as a calm but devastating clapback aimed squarely at the rookie QB. In just two hours, the post had over 14 million views, 400K retweets, and thousands of replies from NFL fans praising Bosa’s restraint and confidence.
“This is why Bosa is HIM,” wrote @NFLMemes.
“Talk less. Hit harder,” added @BleacherReport.
💬 NFL Reactions: “Bosa Just Ended That Conversation”
The NFL community had plenty to say:
-
@DeeboSamuel: “😂😂😂 My dawg don’t miss.”
-
@FredWarner: “You just made training camp interesting.”
-
@KyleBrandt (NFL Network): “Caleb Williams better pack extra courage when he visits Levi’s.”
The 49ers’ locker room, known for its tight bond and “all work, no talk” culture under coach Kyle Shanahan, reportedly stood and applauded when Bosa’s tweet was read aloud in a team meeting.
⚠️ Rookie Learning Curve?
Several veterans around the league have pointed out that Williams hasn’t played a down of NFL football yet and already seems eager to take aim at some of the league’s elite defenses. Some worry the rookie is painting a target on his back.
“Every edge rusher in the league just circled that Bears game on their calendar,” said former All-Pro DE Jared Allen.
“Especially No. 97.”
