Troy Aikman faced significant backlash for his critical commentary on Caleb Williams during the Chicago Bears' 25-24 victory over the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football. Critics accused Aikman of displaying an anti-Williams bias, especially since Williams performed well by scoring two touchdowns and avoiding turnovers, leading to speculation on social media that his remarks were intentional rather than analytical.

In response to the criticism, Aikman defended his commentary during a radio appearance with The Musers on The Ticket in Dallas. He admitted not rewatching the broadcast but stated he had no regrets about his comments, emphasizing that such backlash is part of the job and doesn't trouble him deeply. Aikman expressed surprise at the reaction, noting that he typically reflects on his broadcasts but felt confident about his approach in this instance.

Despite the controversy, Aikman clarified that he is a fan of Caleb Williams and praised his playing style and willingness to adapt to a new offensive system under coach Ben Johnson. However, Williams and Johnson publicly criticized Aikman's commentary, with Williams posting an Instagram quote attributing "It was lucky" to Aikman, and Johnson expressing dissatisfaction with the analysis in an ESPN Chicago interview.

Further context revealed that Williams missed a scheduled production meeting with Aikman before the game, leading to speculation that this might have influenced Aikman's critical tone during the broadcast. Aikman was not questioned about this during his radio interview. Looking ahead, Aikman's future commentary on Bears games, particularly regarding Williams, is expected to draw increased attention, though no further opportunities are scheduled for the current season unless the Bears appear in an ESPN playoff game.
