Caleb Williams had a great reaction to the new pope being named.
Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost, OSA, on Thursday became the first American in the history of the Roman Catholic Church to be named pope, taking the name Pope Leo XIV. Pope Leo XIV is from Chicago, Ill., and is known for being a Chicago White Sox fan. He’s also a fan of the Bears, which has led to some jokes and reactions from football fans.
One person who is excited about the link is Williams, who just completed his rookie season as the Bears’ quarterback.
Williams posted a 2-word response to the news via X: “Daaaaaa Pope.”
Daaaaaa Pope

Williams was doing a take on the famous “Saturday Night Live” bit about the Bears from Bill Swerski’s Superfans.

You gotta love that.
It’s pretty awesome for Americans to have the first American pope. What’s even better than that is knowing he’s a fan of the biggest city’s sports teams.
