Caleb Williams used his Madden NFL 27 cover debut to address a lingering superstition, telling reporters that the Bears will focus on fundamentals rather than fear of a “Madden curse.” His remarks come as Chicago looks to translate hype into wins this season.
Speaking to Nick Shook of NFL.com, Williams said, “No more of this Madden curse. We’re going to go out and do all the things we need to do, stay healthy, study film and be prepared each week, and handle business.” He added that his top priority is winning as many games as possible and creating a “certain energy” for the squad. The quarterback highlighted health, film study and weekly preparation as the pillars of his approach, underscoring a pragmatic mindset that sidesteps the folklore surrounding the game’s cover athletes.
If the Bears can align health and preparation with Williams’ leadership, the team could see a marked improvement in its win column and playoff positioning. For complete coverage, see Quinnen Williams Nears New Deal with Jets in 2026 Offseason.
