The Bears are printing money, Lions plagiarized the… Lions and 10 things we learned in Week 6

Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season was a treatise on the play of the next generation of young quarterbacks. Five different first-year signal callers got starts. Only one earned a win.

We’ll lead off with Caleb Williams being a revelation. We’ll save Jayden Williams’ continued artistry for this week’s quarterback rankings as he remains a viable piece of the MVP race. We’ll talk about the optimism involved for Drake Maye (real!) and Bo Nix (less real!) in a part of losing efforts Sunday (and we might get to Spencer Rattler next week).

Let’s talk about what we learned, from bettors maybe kinda-sorta beginning to take the Chicago Bears seriously to the Lions’ thievery of their own dang playbook to T.J. Watt generally being a nuisance capable of swinging games in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ favor.

Please bear with me for any Twitter embed issues. Our editing software has become a whole problem on that front this weekend. Rest assured, if there’s a play alluded to in the text it’s worth clicking through to see if it didn’t make it into the article itself.
