In a stunning display of skill during Week 15, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed a touchdown pass with a mere 16.1% probability. The throw, made with impressive arm arrogance, found wide receiver D.J. Moore in the end zone despite tight coverage. Williams' confidence in his abilities is further underscored by his record of 12 interceptions in his first 1,000 pass attempts, showcasing his effectiveness and ball security.
Beyond Williams' heroics, the week featured several notable performances. Bills quarterback Josh Allen, initially struggling with short passes, significantly increased his average air yards per attempt in the second half of a comeback victory. Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson achieved a career-high 148 rushing yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating power, particularly in jumbo formations.
The week also highlighted statistical anomalies for other quarterbacks. Drake Maye faced a defense that typically stifles aerial attacks but still struggled. Jordan Love endured high pressure but achieved a career-high in passing yards against the blitz. Bo Nix continued his success against zone coverage, while Matthew Stafford excelled under pressure, leading the league in passing touchdowns against blitzes.
