    There was some dubious history made in Williams’ first start, as he is the only rookie quarterback to throw 25+ pass attempts and record under 100 passing yards in his first start and win the game. Of the seven other rookie quarterbacks that have reached those numbers in their first start, all of them lost the game.

        Normally, it really bothers me, but in this case I can understand that the explanation wouldn’t fit in the headline. “Rookie QB is the first to suck so bad he threw for more than 25 receptions for less than 100 yards and no TDs and his team still won” has a bit of a Knopian quality to it.

        I normally do post the meat of the article in the body of the text, even when I post from my phone, but I was juggling some other tasks and half-assed it today, lol. Apologies + thanks to the Meat Bridge.
