After a rough Sunday Night Football showing against the Houston Texans, former USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams's rookie woes continue in week three, but he has thrown his first touchdown pass of his career.
In the fourth quarter, Williams threw the first touchdown pass of his early NFL career. Before Williams' one-yard pass to Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze, none of the rookie quarterbacks from the 2024 NFL draft had thrown a touchdown.
Despite the career milestone, Williams' performance throughout the game has been filled with struggles. While he’s still a rookie and it’s only his third NFL game, Williams will need to rectify these errors and fast as the Bears are a team looking to compete for playoff position this season.Through the first three quarters, Williams threw two interceptions and was sacked twice. Both interceptions were totally avoidable and plays where he forced the ball to places he shouldn’t have.
However, at the NFL level, Williams will have to learn discernment for when to turn that ability on, when to operate on time, and also when to understand when plays are dead and to live to see another down.MORE: USC Trojans Dominated By Michigan Wolverines In The Trenches, Lose First Big Ten GameKyron Samuels is a former college and professional football player now a writer, analyst, & digital host.
