In a hilarious yet infuriating moment on Radio Row ahead of Super Bowl LX, Ja'Marr Chase, wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, found himself at the center of a viral moment on The Pat McAfee Show. Chase, a future MVP candidate, made a massive mistake when he mistakenly referred to Caleb Williams, the quarterback for the Chicago Bears, as "Caleb Daniels."

As one of the brightest stars in the league, Chase was expected to know key young talents, especially someone like Williams, who is the future of the Bears. However, the mistake not only annoyed fans but sparked outrage among Bears supporters, who saw it as a blatant disrespect to one of their most promising stars. When Pat McAfee quickly jumped in to ask, “You mean Jayden Daniels?” referring to the quarterback for the Washington Commanders, Chase stubbornly responded, "No, Caleb Daniels," confidently calling him an "absolute beast."
“No, Caleb Daniels,” Chase insisted, continuing to praise the “beast” he was referring to. But when McAfee asked, “Who’s Caleb Daniels?”, Chase finally realized his blunder and admitted, “I don’t know what the f** his first name is.”*
This slip-up immediately took over social media, with Bears fans expressing their outrage at the gaffe. To them, it wasn’t just a harmless mistake, but an insult to their future franchise quarterback. Caleb Williams isn’t just an important figure for the Bears, but he’s also the key to their hopes of returning to the top. Now, thanks to Chase, Williams was reduced to a punchline.
This isn’t the first time a major NFL figure has been criticized for mistakenly calling Williams by the wrong name. Mike McCarthy, the head coach of the Green Bay Packers, was also roasted after calling Caleb Williams "Kalib" in 2025. Now, it seems that Chase is following in McCarthy's footsteps, as NFL fans get ready to "roast" him for his blunder.
However, there’s even more shocking news. Ja'Marr Chase, widely regarded as the future MVP of the Green Bay Packers, will be joining the Packers in the upcoming free agency period. This news only adds fuel to the fire for Bears fans, who are already seething from the disrespect their star quarterback has received from a player who is about to join their division rival.
Currently, Chicago Bears fans are beyond furious. Not only is their team caught in a viral joke, but they also feel disrespected by stars from other teams. Caleb Williams, despite being one of their brightest stars, is not being treated with the respect he deserves, and the Bears community is taking a stand.
This moment is not just a funny slip-up; it’s a reminder of how some stars in the NFL fail to respect the rising talents on other teams. For the Bears community, Caleb Williams will never be forgotten — and they’ll continue to defend their star, no matter how much disrespect comes from the “superstars” of the league.
