Caleb Williams trolls Packers by grating cheese after epic Bears comeback
NY Post
The cheese grater hat made its return following the Bears’ stunning comeback win over the Packers in the wild-card round Saturday, and this time, Caleb Williams had a real cheese grater, too.
During a segment on the Prime Video postgame show following Chicago’s 31-27 victory, Williams, wideout DJ Moore and tight end Colston Loveland all donned matching cheese grater hats, and at one point, analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick handed Williams a block of cheese and a grater.
Then, with his tongue out as he basked in the roar of the Chicago fans still at Soldier Field, Williams picked up the props and started grating the cheese.
It added a jolt to the storied rivalry that added another chapter — from frosty handshakes between head coaches Ben Johnson and Matt LaFleur to Williams’ cheese-grating moment after securing the first playoff win of his young career — throughout the three meetings this season between the Bears and the Packers.
The cheese grater hat first made an appearance in late December, days after the Bears defeated Green Bay in overtime on Dec. 20, when Williams distributed meals in Chicago.
Williams recovered from throwing two interceptions to toss a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter Saturday night, and the Bears’ offense recovered from managing just three points in the first half by erupting for 25 in the final frame to secure the franchise’s first postseason victory since a 2010 victory over the Seahawks in the divisional round.

Most of the words Chris Drury said in July about defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov centered around the defensive side of the $49 million defenseman’s game. The Rangers president and general manager wanted to be better in front of their goaltenders. He wanted improved coverage in high-danger areas. And Gavrikov, inked to a seven-year deal at the start of free agency that month to pair with Adam Fox, possessed “qualities of an elite shutdown guy.”
