It’s still early in the No 1 overall pick’s career but he is already showing the savvy and command of an NFL veteran
On the flight from Chicago to London for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams carried the hopes of an entire fanbase – not to mention the burden of a 75-year quarterback curse unparalleled in pro football history.
Evidently, Williams left any baggage on the plane. In a 35-16 domination of the Jaguars, the first overall pick in the 2024 draft completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, a passer rating of 124.4, a Completion Rate Over Expected of +12.5% (only Lamar Jackson was better on Sunday at +14.1%), and a Passing EPA of +14.6 (behind only Jared Goff and Jordan Love).
