NFC Notes: Jared Goff, Caleb Williams, Bears, Lions, Vikings

Jared Goff showing signs of improvement

The Detroit Lions have won two of their last three games, and quarterback Jared Goff is a big reason why. Goff has thrown for over 300 yards in each of the Lions' last two wins, and he has also thrown seven touchdowns with just one interception during that span. Goff's improvement is a good sign for the Lions, who are trying to build a winner around him. The Lions have a lot of young talent on their roster, and if Goff can continue to play at a high level, the Lions could be a playoff contender in the near future.

Caleb Williams impresses in first NFL start

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Caleb Williams impressed in his first NFL start on Sunday, leading the Chargers to a 20-17 win over the Tennessee Titans. Williams completed 16 of 22 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns, and he also rushed for 55 yards. Williams showed off his arm strength and mobility in his first NFL start, and he looked like a future star. The Chargers are hoping that Williams can be the franchise quarterback they have been looking for, and his performance on Sunday was a good sign.

Bears, Lions, Vikings all lose

The Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings all lost on Sunday, dropping their records to a combined 4-17. The Bears lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 29-17, the Lions lost to the Carolina Panthers 24-10, and the Vikings lost to the Dallas Cowboys 40-3. The Bears, Lions, and Vikings are all struggling this season, and it is unclear when they will turn things around.
