What we learned from Sunday's games

FULL BOX SCORE

Jeremy Bergman's insights:

1. Caleb makes his own OROY case. Caleb WilliamsThe second national window game went much better than his first. Four weeks removed from a “SNF” stinker in Houston, Williams lit up London with one of the most extraordinary performances in Bears quarterback history. The No. 1 overall pick continued his hot run through the air and on the ground, throwing four touchdowns Keenan Allen and part-time long snapper Cole Kmet (two apiece) led Chicago to its third straight win. Williams played stubbornly inside and outside the structure, showing confidence on throws from tight windows and creativity from the pocket. In addition to his 226 passing yards, Williams moved the chains with 56 yards on four scrambles, showing a veteran's talent for knowing when to seek contact and when to avoid it. He also proved resilient, recovering from a terrible interception with an 85-yard TD drive. Bears fans have never seen this before — through six weeks, Williams already has the most TD passes of any Chicago rookie QB (9, tied with Jim McMahon) — but they better get used to it. Williams is serious about taking on the leading candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year – and the Bears' next opponent in Week 8 – Commanders QB Jayden Daniels.
2. Jags remained in limbo in London. Just hours after Jacksonville owner Shad Khan gave Doug Pederson and Co. his final vote of confidence, they betrayed him with another listless disappointment. Take a look at the box score and you might be encouraged by the Jags' offensive performance. Evan Engram And Gabe Davis returned to the fold with a vengeance and Trevor Lawrence was relatively efficient. But the tape tells a different story. Jacksonville continues to squander opportunities – it started Sunday with a possession FG after an eight-minute march and continued with game-changing drops and turnovers. The running game, clocked in week 5 of Tank Bigsbywas DOA away from Duval and lost Travis Etienne halfway to a hamstring injury. The pass rush that broke out with Travon Walker Last week there was nothing to be found against the elusive Williams, allowing the Bears to run free and extend drives. Worst of all, the Jaguars suffered their fifth road loss of the year; Jacksonville remains in London for another week before meeting New England at Wembley Stadium. That likely means there won't be any major personnel changes for at least another game. But believe me, when the Jags face one of the worst players in the AFC in Week 7, heads will roll in England.
3. Another loss for the Bears defense. A slow start gave way to another solid performance from these modern Monsters of the Midway. Chicago entered Week 6 with an average of 17.0 PPG allowed, its best mark since the 2006 Super Bowl season. After holding Jacksonville to just 16 on the road, the Bears once again proved that they are a force to be feared on offense . Ignore the condition of their opponents for a moment – Chicago's four wins have come against teams with an overall record of 4-16. After years of wallowing in mediocrity, the Bears are laying waste to weaker teams, with sacks (five players with at least 0.5 against Jacksonville), passes defended (six players with at least one) and takeaways playing a big role. Chicago added two turnovers on Sunday, the most critical a TJ Edwards forced fumble by Engram on the first play of the second half. The punch-out immediately negated a long completion and led directly to a TD that put Chicago ahead by 18 points. The Bears boast 13 takeaways this season, with only the division rivals Packers (14) and Vikings (13) in their stadium. The NFC North is no joke this season and after two consecutive laughs, the Bears defense has Chicago right in the thick of it.

Insight into next-gen stats for Jaguars-Bears (via NFL Pro): Jaylon Johnson allowed just one reception for 5 yards on two targets in 38 coverage snaps against the Jags. The Bears CB has scored less than half of his goals this season, resulting in a league-leading passer rating of 20.8 goals allowed (minimum 15 goals).

NFL Research: Caleb Williams is the first player in NFL history with at least three passing touchdowns and 50 rushing yards in an international game.
