Week 4 Recap

Welcome to the exhilarating recap of Week 4 in the NFL! This week has been a rollercoaster, especially for rookie quarterbacks who continue to steal the spotlight.

Rookie Quarterbacks Shine

Caleb Williams and Bo Nix shined brightly as they each led their teams to victory. Williams made history by becoming the first quarterback since the common draft era began to win his first two home starts in the same year he was selected first overall. He marked his first career win in Week 1 against the Titans and backed it up by leading the Bears to a triumph against the Los Angeles Rams.

Meanwhile, Bo Nix faced significant challenges, throwing for negative yardage in the first half against the Jets. However, he quickly turned the game around, completing 60 yards in the third quarter and securing a narrow 10-9 victory for the Broncos. It was a moment of redemption for the rookie, showcasing the resilience required at this level.

Jayden Daniels Impresses

The big news continued with Jayden Daniels guiding the Commanders to an impressive 42-14 victory over the Cardinals. Daniels was nothing short of spectacular, completing 86.7% of his passes, making him the first quarterback in NFL history to achieve at least 85% completion in two consecutive games. This performance marks the first time since 2011 that the Commanders have boasted a winning record after four weeks.

Historic Victory for Rookie Quarterbacks

This week’s victories for the Broncos, Bears, and Commanders mark only the third instance in NFL history where three rookie quarterbacks have won games in the same week during the opening month of the season, joining similar feats from 2012 and 2016.
