C.J. Beathard

C.J. Beathard has done an outstanding job of rising to the challenge in his first three games as quarterback of the Bears, boasting an impressive completion rate of 60.5%, which, while not stunningly impressive, indicates a moderate level of efficiency.

Although his 352 yards may not make headlines alone, considering that he averages 8.2 yards per attempt – suggesting when Beathard throws, it’s often for significant yards, which could prove instrumental against an opponent such as Indianapolis, who have struggled defensively recently. Beathard has proven himself more than just a pocket passer. He has an exceptional talent for reading defenses, which bodes well for the Jaguars, who employ run-pass option plays this season. Furthermore, his two touchdowns and one interception demonstrate sound decision-making abilities, which could prove vital against an inconsistent Colts defense in Week 7.

Sam Ehlinger

Sam Ehlinger of the Colts has also posted impressive numbers. With a 74.2% completion rate and 282 yards, Ehlinger has demonstrated efficiency over a shorter sample size. Ehlinger stands out in particular with his 9.1 yards per attempt metric, which illustrates his willingness to throw downfield. This makes Ehlinger a hazardous weapon should the Jaguars secondary fail to keep an eye on the Colts’ wide receivers.

His subpar running game performance may diminish Ehlinger’s impressive stats. Jake Funk, the Colts’ primary back, has amassed just 54 yards on 17 attempts – or only an average of 3.2 yards per carry. Without an effective running attack to support Ehlinger’s dominating performances on offense, Ehlinger may need to carry it himself and contribute his share toward scoring points – something the Jaguars will exploit with their defensive strategy.
