While abroad, Tillman was looking forward to making continued connections with Bears fans.
He was struck by how many Bears fans there are from all different parts of the world.
“That’s the beautiful thing about the NFL,” Tillman said. “… This week, I’ve seen different jerseys from different eras of players. I’ve seen some from the 80s, some from the 90s, some from the 2000s. To me, that just shows you how global the game has been and it just continues to grow.”
The Bears went out and thrashed the Jaguars with a 35-16 victory in London Sunday morning.
It was the Bears’ 3rd straight victory and they will now be 4-2 heading into the Bye week.
Rookie Caleb Williams was stellar again, tossing 4 touchdown passes and rushing for 56 yards.
“Caleb has started to come into his own,” Tillman said.
