Caleb Williams stats: How did Bears star rookie do in NFL debut?

Must read

Quarterback Caleb Williams led the Chicago Bears to a victory in his NFL debut against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday afternoon.

The rookie completed just 14 of 29 passes for 93 yards in the home win. Williams was the first overall quarterback to win his rookie debut since 2002.

The former Heisman Trophy winner from USC did not throw a touchdown or interception but was sacked twice by the Titans’ defense. He also fumbled the ball once.

The quarterback did have receiver Keenan Allen in the endzone for a touchdown before it was dropped, leaving the Bears to settle for three points.

Williams tried to use his ability to escape defenders similarly to what he would do against Pac-12 Conference teams at USC but had minimal success.

Titans defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day tracked Williams down for a sack and a 19-yard loss on first-and-10 in the middle of the first quarter.

  • Completions: 14-for-29
