Week 1 of the NFL preseason continued on Saturday with nine games.
Here are five takeaways from the action, dominated primarily by rookie quarterbacks.
Caleb Williams looked extremely comfortable in preseason debut
Williams finished 4-of-7 for 95 yards (13.6 YPC), recording a 101.8 passer rating in a 33-6 win over the Buffalo Bills. However, beyond the numbers, he displayed qualities that should have the Chicago Bears giddy with excitement.
The No. 1 pick showcased his pocket presence and well-known improv skills on the game’s first drive, flipping the ball across his body under pressure to running back D’Andre Swift for a 42-yard gain. Later in the first quarter, he sold play-action and pump-faked to stall a pursuing defender before throwing a 26-yard dart on the run to tight end Cole Kmet.
