### Caleb Williams Shines in London, Bears’ Defense Dominates, and Ravens Continue Their Unstoppable Run

In a thrilling Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season, multiple storylines emerged as standout players made history and teams fought for supremacy. Here's a breakdown of the key highlights from Sunday's action.

#### Caleb Williams Impresses in International Debut

Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick, had a sensational comeback after a previous disappointing national-window game. This time, he electrified the crowd in London, throwing four touchdowns and leading the Chicago Bears to their third consecutive victory. Williams connected twice each with Keenan Allen and Cole Kmet, showcasing his ability to make tight-window throws and exhibit creativity out of the pocket. Alongside his 226 passing yards, Williams also demonstrated impressive mobility, scrambling for 56 yards. His resilience was on display after rebounding from a poor interception to lead an 85-yard touchdown drive. Williams is now tied with Jim McMahon for the most touchdown passes by a rookie QB in Chicago's history. As the Offensive Rookie of the Year race heats up, Williams is fast becoming a frontrunner.

#### Jaguars’ Struggles Continue in London

The Jacksonville Jaguars' woes persisted as they suffered another defeat, casting doubts over Doug Pederson's leadership despite owner Shad Khan's recent vote of confidence. Jacksonville's promising offensive stats were marred by missed opportunities, including drive-killing drops and turnovers. The Jaguars' running game failed to launch, especially after losing Travis Etienne to a hamstring injury. Additionally, their pass rush was ineffective against the agile Caleb Williams, who exploited their defense to extend plays. Jacksonville now faces the prospect of another challenging game against New England at Wembley Stadium, with potential fallout looming if they lose again.

#### Chicago Bears Defense Dominates

The Chicago Bears' defense continued to live up to their "Monsters of the Midway" moniker, holding the Jaguars to just 16 points. Averaging 17.0 points allowed per game, the Bears' defense has become a formidable unit, excelling in sacks, deflected passes, and takeaways. Chicago forced two crucial turnovers, including a T.J. Edwards forced fumble that immediately led to a touchdown. With four wins under their belt, the Bears' defense is proving to be a significant factor in their ascent within the NFC North.

#### Lamar Jackson and Ravens’ Offense Unstoppable

Lamar Jackson led the Baltimore Ravens to another explosive performance, showcasing why their offense is among the most dangerous in the league. The Ravens racked up 484 yards and 28 first downs against Washington, with Zay Flowers starring in the first half with nine catches for 132 yards. Despite some early setbacks, Baltimore's offensive versatility shone through, with Derrick Henry contributing two rushing touchdowns. Notably, the 2024 Ravens are emulating the 1971 Raiders by achieving 150-plus rushing yards and at least one rushing touchdown in each of their first six games. When Jackson is in form, the Ravens' offense is virtually unstoppable.

#### Jayden Daniels Shows Promise Despite Washington's Loss

Rookie QB Jayden Daniels performed admirably against the Ravens' staunch defense, displaying excellent anticipation, pocket movement, and accuracy. He connected beautifully on timing routes, including two touchdown passes to Terry McLaurin. However, Washington struggled in the absence of Brian Robinson, generating only 52 rushing yards. Despite Daniels' impressive play, the Commanders couldn't keep pace with Baltimore's high-powered offense.

#### Packers’ Defense Shines as Jordan Love Leads Win Over Cardinals

Jordan Love returned from a knee injury to lead the Green Bay Packers past the Arizona Cardinals with a four-touchdown performance. Love connected with nine different receivers, including Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson, cementing an easy victory. The Packers' defense was equally dominant, forcing three fumbles in the second half. With 17 takeaways in six games, Green Bay's defense is becoming a turnover machine under coordinator Jeff Hafley. Love's remarkable performance also saw him tied with Packers legends Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre for consecutive games with multiple passing touchdowns.

The 2024 NFL season continues to unfold with captivating performances and unforeseen challenges, ensuring that every game offers fans plenty to relish and anticipate.
