Tom Brady’s LFG Player of the Game: Bears’ Caleb Williams 🏆 Week 6 DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE

Tom Brady hands over the trophy, and Caleb Williams supplies a theory about why these meetings keep happening: "I always seem to perform when you're here, man!"

The Bears quarterback's postgame exchange with Brady drew about 72,000 views in six hours, already well beyond a usual full day's audience for a FOX Sports Short. The comments were even more unusually busy, approaching ten times the channel's normal first-day total.

Williams received Brady's LFG Player of the Game award after Chicago's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Brady praises the focus he saw from warmups through the opening touchdown drive. Williams describes channeling high emotions into his performance, then quickly turns from celebrating to correcting: the Bears need fewer penalties and must stop allowing opponents back into games.

Asked about spreading the ball around, Williams credits his offensive playmakers, particularly their catches on crucial third downs. The segment is sponsored by Verizon.

Viewers keep returning to the rapport between the quarterbacks. Several compare Brady's manner to that of a proud uncle; others jokingly want him assigned to every Bears game as a good-luck charm. Williams' own quip gives that conversation its starting point.

Brady closes with a more practical message than luck: rest up for the short turnaround before Thursday night.
