Thru 5 games: 107-170, 62.9%, 1,091, 6.4 Y/A, 5 TD, 4 INT, 81.3 QB Rating, 36.6 QBR.
With his 2nd 300-yd game, he would need 4 more in the next 12 games to join this exclusive group:
300-yd games as a rookie:
Herbert - 8
Luck - 6
Stroud - 6
Williams with a QBR of 84.0 this week, currently leads the NFL thru the THU and early SUN games. Wow, super impressive.
Since Week 2, Williams has improved every week. That should put his overall QBR close to 40 which would be on par with Love and Herbert.
21.3 > 35.1 > 38.6 > 84.0
Jordan Love throws into triple coverage, and somehow Reed catches it. Then he throws a terrible pick-6 trying to avoid a safety. He is not a good QB, he just gets incredibly lucky. Outside of that ridiculous bomb, he is 4-10 with 19 yards, 1 INT (Pick-6).
Early Line has Bears favored by 1 or a PK, depending on the sportsbook.
JAX is 1-4, defense allowed 34, 24, and 47 their last 3 games. They barely beat a Flacco led Colts without Taylor. The Jags offense got going with 37 pts.
This is going to be a close game, but I am going with 24-20 Bears going into the bye at 4-2. The Bears defense is the best unit amongst both teams.
2-1 in the last 3, need a win against JAX in London. JAX just won so they won't be as desperate as if they were coming in winless.
JAX's offense came alive, Lawrence with a 300-yd game, Bigsby with a 100 yard rushing game, Thomas with a 100 yard receiving game. Their defense allowed 34 to a Flacco led Colts team without Taylor.
Williams - QB Rating the last 4: 51.0 > 80.8 > 106.6 > 126.2
3 TD, 0 INT in his last 2 games, 5-2 in the last 3.
Only 1 sack, had 7 in Week 2, then 4, then 3, and now 1. Offensive Line improving.
BEARS WIN!
Very solid game all around minus a few plays (drops, penalties, and the one play they over pursued on defense).
Another win, not allowing 20 pts.
Another home win.
Williams now has 2x 300 yard passing games in his last 3 games.
I know they say they can't do uptempo all the time, but I can't think of a drive they went uptempo on and didn't score. It feels like every time they do, they score.
