12. Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears
Four interceptions? Four??
Yes, Caleb Williams tossed four interceptions for the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football. Williams finished with 279 passing yards, two touchdowns, and a quartet of picks, which simply cannot happen again.
The Bears winning this game was honestly insane - they played poorly and deserved to lose, and Williams takes a lot of the blame for this outing. While this was his real first ‘bad’ game of the season, we’re suddenly needing to pump the brakes a bit.
Williams has eight passing touchdowns this year against five interceptions. He’s completing 68.7 percent of his passes and does need to stack some bounce-back performances in the coming weeks.
He also missed some time earlier in the season with a hamstring injury, so his availability this year has not been perfect. Make no mistake - Williams is still a borderline superstar and is going to play well this year overall, but his Week 9 performance has us pumping the brakes and taking a step back.
11. Bo Nix, Denver Broncos
Bo Nix has a 94.8 passer rating over the past three games. The Denver Broncos offense has averaged 28 points per game over the last three, and Nix had nearly 200 passing attempts between interceptions. He last threw an interception way back in Week 3 and did not throw another one until Week 9.
Nix added two touchdown passes and another solid offensive performance for the Broncos offense overall. Denver is now winners of five games in a row and are 7-2 on the season. This team keeps showing up late in games, and Nix’s play getting better as the game goes on is absolutely a valid pillar of his QB profile.
While some might roll their eyes at the constant need for the late-game comebacks, this is who the Broncos are. They’ve now won 16 one-score games in a row in the regular season, which is the most in the history of the NFL.
Nix’s steady play late in games is a huge reason for that, and he has, objectively speaking, played a lot better in Weeks 7-9. Now at the bye, Nix and the Broncos are on the rise.
