The numbers confirm what’s becoming clear: The rookie quarterbacks for the Commanders and Bears can both play.
Williams and the Bears are 4-2 and coming off their bye week, which followed their most impressive showing yet, a 35-16 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Williams completed 23 of 29 passes, had 226 passing yards and became only the fourth rookie quarterback to toss at least four touchdown passes and run for at least 50 yards in a game.
Coupled with his 304 passing yards against the Panthers on Oct. 6, Williams has shown a comfort level in offensive coordinator Shane Waldron’s scheme that seemed to be missing in the early weeks.
