Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is excited to face fellow New England Patriots rookie Drake Maye on Sunday. Williams is having a strong start in his first NFL season for a Bears team that is currently 4-4.

Action in the NFL has never been closer through the first nine weeks of a season. Seventy-five games have been determined by seven or fewer points in 2024, the most through the first nine weeks of a season in NFL history,

Drake Maye has shown glimpses of why he was the third overall pick, as evidenced by six touchdown passes and nearly 200 rushing yards in his first four starts. But he’s also committed six turnovers, some coming in critical situations. Maye needs more help from his offensive line (sacked 11 times) and supporting cast.
