Rookie Quarterbacks Shine in Week 4 of the NFL
This weekend, cities across the nation were buzzing with excitement as the NFL kicked off its Week 4 action. A standout story from this week has been the impressive performances by rookie quarterbacks. Fans in Chicago, Denver, and Washington saw their teams celebrate victories led by these young talents.
In Chicago, Caleb Williams made history by becoming the first quarterback in the common-draft era to win his first two home games in the same year he was picked as the first overall choice. He achieved this milestone with a solid performance, securing a victory against the Los Angeles Rams after his initial win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 1.
Meanwhile, Bo Nix had a rocky start against the New York Jets but turned things around in the second half. After struggling to get any positive yards earlier in the game, he threw for 60 yards in the third quarter, contributing to a thrilling 10-9 win for the Denver Broncos.
Lastly, Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders capped off the successful day for rookies by leading his team to a dominant 42-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Daniels delivered an impressive performance, completing 86.7% of his passes and making history by being the first quarterback to achieve at least 85% completions in two consecutive games.
This remarkable day for rookie quarterbacks is noteworthy because it marks only the third time in NFL history that three rookies won during the first month of the season. The previous occurrences were in 2012 and 2016.
With 14 games already played, the excitement continues to build as another doubleheader awaits on Monday night. Fans can look forward to more thrilling action in the weeks to come as these young quarterbacks take center stage!
