It must have been tough for the Bears to watch the head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterback they skipped dominate the scoreboard in the Commanders’ 38-33 win over the Bengals on Monday night.

Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has gotten off to the tremendous start the Bears hoped Caleb Williams would get, and he’s flourished under coach Dan Quinn and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.

Williams is inconsistent, Daniels is cooking, Bo Nix is ​​boring and, hey, Drake Maye finally got to play. Here’s how the first-round picks fared:

No. 1 Overall Pick: Bears QB Caleb Williams

Williams completed 33 of 52 passes for 363 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for an 80.8 passer rating against the Colts. It was the most yardage by a Bears quarterback in eight years, but it was inefficient, resulting in three turnovers in a game they lost 21-16.

No. 2 overall pick: Commanders QB Jayden Daniels

Daniels set a rookie record for completion percentage with 21-of-23 passing for 254 yards and two touchdown passes, plus he rushed 12 times for 39 yards and a touchdown. His 111.8 passer rating on the season is fourth in the NFL.

No. 3 Overall Pick: Patriots QB Drake Maye

Maye got mop-up action against the Jets, completing 4 of 8 passes for 22 yards. He has momentum to take over as the starter, though veteran Jacoby Brissett is likely to start Sunday against the 49ers.

No. 12 Overall Pick: Broncos QB Bo Nix

Nix is ​​still looking for his first touchdown pass, and the Broncos are 1-2. He played cleanly, though, in a 26-7 win over the Buccaneers by completing 25 of 36 passes for 216 yards with no turnovers and rushing nine times for 47 yards and a touchdown.

The Bears head coach did not shy away from blaming the coaching staff for their role in the 21-16 loss to the Colts: a poor play on fourth-and-goal, a poor matchup on third-and-goal and the need to call a timeout to set up a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter.

By means of Mark Potash

Williams has been neither dominant nor disastrous. He is just normal for a rookie.

By means of Jason Lieser

He won’t win regularly if he doesn’t take good care of the football.
