Crispy enough to crunch, soft enough to enjoy. A good bake.
Summary
EA Sports has officially announced Bears quarterback Caleb Williams as the cover model for Madden NFL 27. The cover image features Williams throwing a jump pass against the Chicago skyline, a pose inspired by his playoff touchdown throw to Rome Odunze. This marks the second consecutive year EA Sports has used a pose from a previous season highlight, following Saquon Barkley's backwards hurdle on last year's cover.
