Bears QB Caleb Williams took responsibility for his exorbitant sack totals last year and didn’t blame the offensive line or protection.
“Part of it is my footwork and that lining up with the play,” Williams said, via Bears Wire. “That helps accelerate the clock for me. The other part is being decisive, making a decision. The other part is also taking what the defense gives me. Not trying to find that big play every time and be the young cat wanting to go get that big play, big scramble play. Sometimes it’s just the check down of the ball, the flat, the second read that may not be something more than five yards.”
Vikings S Josh Metellus was entering the final year of his contract, but wasn’t concerned about potentially becoming a free agent in 2026. In the end, he’s focused on having the “best year of my life.”
On Saturday, the Vikings signed him to a three-year, $36 million extension.
“You leave that to the front office and agents,” Metellus said, via YouTube. “That’s their job to compare numbers and stuff. My job is just to go out there and play. If that has to be the case, I’ve been betting on myself since I got into this league so I’m not worried about going out here and having the best year of my life.”
