NFL London: Caleb Williams stars as Chicago Bears beat Jacksonville Jaguars 35-16

Chicago’s rookie quarterback Caleb Williams put on a show in London as he led the Bears to a 35-16 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Williams was the number one pick in this year’s draft and crossed the Atlantic for the second of the season’s London games – and just the sixth appearance of what promises to be a glittering NFL career.

A crowd of 61,182 flocked to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to see Williams go head-to-head with Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the number one pick of the 2021 draft.

And it was the 22-year-old Williams who came out on top, throwing four touchdown passes as the Bears tore to a third straight win, improving their overall record to 4-2.

Williams threw two touchdown passes to tight end Cole Kmet to give the Bears a 14-3 lead at half-time.

Then he threw two more on Chicago’s first two possessions of the second half – both to Keenan Allen.

Lawrence, 25, replied by making two touchdown passes to Gabe Davis but the Jaguars never looked like mounting a fightback as they slipped to 1-5 for the season.

Williams, though, ended the day with some impressive figures. He made 23 of his 29 passes for a completion rate of 79.3% and 226 passing yards, plus added 56 rushing yards off just four carries.
