Welcome to the Week 4 grades!
The fourth week of the NFL season has been a big one for rookie quarterbacks. During the early window of games, Caleb Williams and Bo Nix both came away with a win. For Williams, he became the first QB in the common-draft era to win his first two home starts in the same year where he was taken with the first overall pick.
Williams won the first game of his career with a Week 1 win over the Titans and then he followed that up on Sunday with the Bears beating the Los Angeles Rams. As for Nix, after throwing for NEGATIVE yardage in the first half against the Jets, he bounced back to throw for 60 yards in the third quarter of that game to lead Denver to the only touchdown for either team in what turned out to be a 10-9 win for the Broncos.
Jayden Daniels capped off the big day for rookie quarterbacks by leading the Commanders to a dominating 42-14 win over the Cardinals. In the win, Daniels completed 86.7% of his passes, making him the first quarterback in NFL history to complete at least 85% of his passes in two consecutive games. Daniels also has the Commanders over .500 through four weeks for the first time since 2011.
The wins by the Broncos, Bears and Commanders marks just the third time in NFL history that three rookie quarterbacks won in the same week during the first four weeks of the season. The only other times it has happened came in 2012 and 2016.
There were no rookie quarterbacks Monday night, but Jared Goff did set an NFL record by completing 100% of his passes against the Seahawks. With Monday’s doubleheader now over, all 16 games are in the books for Week 4, so let’s check out the grades for each team below.
