Caleb Williams Named NFC Offensive Player of the Week After 4-TD Win Over Cowboys

The award recognizes his four-touchdown win over Dallas, reflecting Ben Johnson's view of a quarterback growing more comfortable in the huddle.

  • The second-year quarterback went 19-of-28 for 298 yards with four touchdowns, a 142.6 passer rating, and no sacks or interceptions in the 31-14 victory.
  • He distributed scores to four different targets and completed passes to eight receivers, highlighted by a 65-yard touchdown to rookie Luther Burden III.
  • Head coach Ben Johnson praised Williams for cleaner operation in and out of the huddle as he gains command of the play-calling.
