Chargers Acquire Taylor Heinicke From Falcons

Wednesday, August 28, 8:22 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers are acquiring quarterback Taylor Heinicke from the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday in exchange for a conditional sixth-round draft pick. Not only is starting quarterback Justin Herbert (foot) recovering from plantar fasciitis in his foot, but backup Easton Stick regressed in training camp and the preseason. The 31-year-old Heinicke will be an upgrade at the QB position behind Herbert entering the regular season next week. In Atlanta, the Falcons were expected all along to try and trade Heinicke after taking rookie Michael Penix Jr. in the first round in April. Heinicke made his NFL debut back in 2017 with the Houston Texans and has appeared in 38 games (29 starts) since then with four different teams. His best year came in 2021 with Washington, when he threw for 3,419 yards, 20 touchdowns and 15 picks on 321 pass attempts over 16 games (15 starts).

Caleb Williams Struggles But Shows Some Promise In Week 14 Loss

Monday, December 9, 4:04 AM

This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams faced a tough challenge against the formidable San Francisco 49ers in Week 14. Despite the problematic matchup, Williams showed resilience despite his uneven performance. He completed 17 of 23 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns, with his second-half play improving after a rough start. While he struggled early, Williams found his rhythm, leading the Bears' offense to a couple of touchdown drives during the game's later stretches. He added 27 rushing yards on the ground, finishing as the second-leading rusher for the Bears. His touchdown passes were both to fellow rookie Rome Odunze, signaling a growing connection between the two. Williams and the Bears will look to bounce back next Monday night when they face the Minnesota Vikings in a crucial rematch.
