Williams' slow start included two three-pointers early in the game and an interception on a bad pass intended for receiver DJ Moore in the second quarter, but the 22-year-old made few mistakes after his only turnover of the game.

Williams was particularly effective on rushing passes against the Jags, completing 13 of 14 passes for 111 yards and three touchdowns while picking up nine first downs. He completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards with the four touchdowns and had a dropback success rate of 58.8% and a completion rate of +12.5% ​​above expectations, according to Next Gen Stats.

But what made Williams' performance even more eye-opening was his style of play under duress. The Bears QB gave the Jaguars' pass rushers headaches as he slipped under pressure and crawled out of the pocket to either make game-saving throws on the run or extend drives with his legs, totaling 56 rushing yards.

According to NFL Research, he became the fourth rookie QB ever with more than four TD passes and more than 50 rushing yards in a game. He is also the first QB to be selected No. 1 overall in the common draft era, winning four of his first six career starts.

Aside from his personal successes, Williams was still looking for ways to improve in the aftermath of his best NFL performance.

“It felt great,” Williams said. “I think we obviously have to keep getting better – I can’t turn the ball over like that on a wide open touchdown to DJ. There were a few things that happened during the game that I needed to get better at, but I think the progress we've made will continue to grow. I think we have great leaders and great personality on this team, which I've talked about many times, and I think it's all going to continue to grow. I think we have to keep going.”

Because of Williams' efficient day, the Bears earned a dominant win overseas. Chicago's offense engineered four consecutive TD drives midway through the game, allowing the Bears defense to hold its ears and make plays as the Jaguars desperately tried to stay afloat. It even gave Williams a chance to watch the end from the sideline as substitute Tyson Bagent came in to take over the negative yardage as the Bears collapsed before the end of the period.

It was a hopeful look at the Bears' bright future with Williams at the helm. Chicago will gloat with the win heading into Week 7, preceded by a showdown with a Commanders team led by Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year race apparently has a new rival.
