Evan Williams delivered an absolutely MONSTER performance for the Green Bay Packers in Week 4, racking up a team-high seven tackles, a sack, two pass deflections, and a game-changing interception in their nail-biting 17-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This dude is on fire, proving to be an integral part of that Green Bay defense and leading the team with 36 tackles already. Williams stepped up big time when the Packers desperately needed a win to avoid dropping to 1-3. What a statement!
These Safeties Are Ballin’ Out, No Joke
It wasn’t just Williams lighting it up, either. This week felt like a showcase for former Ducks safeties across the league. Dillon Thieneman for the Chicago Bears also had a standout day, logging a team-high seven tackles in their 23-12 win over the New York Jets. Chicago’s defense, even without starting quarterback Caleb Williams, held strong for the second straight week, and Thieneman is a huge reason why, leading the Bears with 30 tackles. Then you have Jevon Holland, who continued his strong start to his sixth season, amassing seven tackles in the New York Giants’ 36-24 victory against the Arizona Cardinals. Seriously, these guys are making game-changing plays and proving just how crucial safety play is in the modern NFL. It’s a trend that’s been building through the first four weeks, and opponents have got to be taking notice.
Quarterbacks Still Scrambling
While the safeties were feasting, it was a rougher Week 4 for some of the Pro Ducks quarterbacks. Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos continued their up-and-down run, falling to the San Francisco 49ers 24-14. Nix completed 25 of 42 passes for 214 yards and tossed a touchdown, but that score came late in the fourth quarter when the game was already slipping away. The Broncos are now sitting at 2-2, third in the AFC West, and those “uneven” performances are definitely something to watch. Bucky Irving was also out there for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but we didn’t get any details on his performance this week. It just goes to show you, some weeks the ball just doesn’t bounce your way.
So, while some guys are struggling to find their footing, others are straight up balling, proving Week 4 was full of wild NFL action. Speaking of wins, our own Seattle Seahawks pulled off a 30-23 victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. Every game matters, and we’re just getting started in this NFL season. Can’t wait for Week 5!
