Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears will take on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday in an NFC North battle. Ahead of the Week 11 matchup, Williams spoke with seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady.

Brady will be on the call for Sunday's game as the matchup is part of the "Game of the Week" for FOX Sports. The two engaged in a conversation alongside other Bears teammates for several minutes and the photos and video circulated on social media.

While there are assumptions that Brady gave Williams a pep talk, others were hopeful that the future Hall of Famer has some words of wisdom for the quarterback.

Caleb Williams entered Week 11 just days after the Chicago Bears parted ways with offensive coordinator Shane Waldron after last week's loss to the New England Patriots. The rookie quarterback has had an up-and-down season, which had fans pleading with Tom Brady to give him some tips. Some fans on X joked that the two quarterbacks were probably having a totally different conversation.

Another fan on X suggested that Tom Brady speak to the offensive line and give them a pep talk and protect their quarterback. Others said that one conversation likely wouldn't be the starting point for a conversation.
