Back
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams had the worst performance of his NFL career in a 27-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. And still, his team won. He's now 4-0 in full games played this season.
Williams got off to a hot start against the Bucs with back-to-back touchdown drives to wide receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III. But things spiraled after that, and he played two and a half bad quarters, which included four interceptions, the most of his career. Chicago turned the ball over five times and still managed to win, and that had to do with a dominant defensive showing that included four sacks and two interceptions, including Jaylon Johnson's pick-six that set the tone late.
Here's a look at where Williams lands among the rest of NFL quarterbacks in Total QBR after Week 9, per ESPN.
