In two drives, the Williams-led offense generated 147 yards and seven first downs, while the QB went 4-of-7 passing for 95 yards with 13 rushing yards. The only negative was each possession stalled inside the 20, settling for field gials instead of TDs.
Williams displayed everything we’d come to expect entering the NFL. He showed the ability to escape pressure, wasn’t rattled. He displayed a cannon for an arm combined with excellent accuracy, especially on the move, while also sporting an ability to overcome bad situations through improvisation. Williams’ worst play was a flat-footed throw from his own end zone on the second drive that was nearly intercepted, but a Buffalo penalty negated the play.
The expectations for the No. 1 pick were already Willis Tower-high in Chicago. Saturday’s performance will keep them in the stratosphere.
