How did he not look good?


I watched the entire game (minus a few plays for snack getting or nature calling) and never thought he looked bad. He got beat a few times, which every CB in the NFL does. He had a pass defended on a very nice play, was in on several tackles. The leading receiver for the Chargers was their TE, which would be covered by a safety or LB usually. Mike Williams had 4 catches for 69 yards and did a lot of pushing with fully extended arms. Overall, I didn't see anything from him that made him stand out as he'll be great or he'll be a weakness. Just seemed like a guy who will be a solid CB. Not every guy that starts can be a star.

When the QB is 16/30 with a 28.6 QBR and 75.4 rating, it's hard to say any of the CBs played poorly.
