Team Records

Caleb Williams is now 70th on the Bears all-time passing list. He just passed the likes of Jason Campbell, Henry Burris, and Moses Moreno. Up next is passing Sweetness, Red Grange, and Doug Flutie.

D'Andre Swift is 220th in rushing yards, and at his current yards per game, would only need 41 seasons of 17 games to surpass Walter Payton's 16,726 rushing yards. Swift would break the record when he is 67 and on his 16th contract extension with the Bears and Caleb Williams' grandson at QB. 

DJ Moore is now 52nd in receiving yards and is closing in on Anthony Miller and David Terrell on the all-time list. 

Cole Kmet is 17th in the franchise in receptions. He just passed Darnell Mooney and is one reception away from Devin Hester. Dikta and Desmond Clark are the only TEs ahead of Cole on the list.  He is also 33rd in receiving yards.

Cairo Santos is 8th in the franchise for both FGs and XPs, he should pass Paul Edinger this year.

Tory Taylor is already 30th in punt yardage and his 46.2 Gross Punt Average is already a team record for players with over 10 punts. Fun fact, Jim McMahon has an average of 47.5 (2 punts) with a long of 59 yards.

With 10 games down, here are the updated franchise rankings:

Caleb Williams, who is on pace for 3,427 passing yards would easily be the Bears single-season rookie record, but also the 5th best passing season for a Bears QB ever.  That same total would put him 23rd on the Bears all-time list for career passing yards. He would then only need 3,248 to pass Justin Fields for 10th on the all-time list next season. To become the franchise passing leader, he will need a 2nd contract, and would probably hit it in his 6th or 7th season. Cutler did it in 7.25 seasons. 

Swift is currently 72nd on the Bears all-time rushing yards list. At his current pace, he would break into the top 45 by the end of the year. At his current pace, he can actually crack the top 25 best rushing seasons in franchise history. Swift can crack the top 20 for the Bears career rushing list late next season.

DJ Moore is now 44th in receiving yards and receptions on the Bears all-time list. He has a chance to move up past Tom Waddle for 33rd on the list for receptions and 36th for receiving yards by the end of the season. It looks like DJ will need 2 more seasons to get into the Bears top 10 Receiving Yards list. At his current pace, he would need 3.5 yrs after this season to be the Bears all-time leading receiver (DJ would be 31 at that time). 

Kmet is now 13th for receptions and 27th for receiving yards, but is now 2nd in franchise history in receptions by a TE (Ditka) and 4th in receiving yards (Ditka, Moorehead, Clark). It looks like Kmet will need two more full seasons to pass Dikta in receptions, and probably closer to 3.5 yrs to pass Dikta in yardage. So Kmet could do it when he is 29.

Santos is still 4th in FGs, and only needs 2 more to be in 3rd all-time (Gould, Butler). He is now 7th in XPs and has a shot at 6th by the end of the year. 

Taylor extended his franchise lead for Gross Punt Average, now up to 47.6. His net of 39.7 and is % inside 20 (40.4%) are also franchise bests. Needless to say, even after a few terrible punts, he is still the best punter in franchise history, as a rookie. 

Carter is now 69th, yeah baybee, for kickoff return yards. His 31.3 yards per return is 2nd only to Sweetness (31.7) for KR Average.

Swift's 635 yards currently is only 16,101 behind Payton's Bear's career yardage, which I think is probably the Bears franchise record.

At Swift's current pace, it would only take him 15 more years to hit that mark, when he is 40 years old.
