Bo Nix reached 19.90 mph on his 62-yard scramble TD run, the longest TD on a QB scramble in the Next Gen Stats era (since 2016).
No Cardinals defender got within four yards of Nix (after he took off to run) until he was inside the five yard line.

C.J. Stroud ➡️ Marvin Harrison Jr. for the TD
Then...
C.J. Stroud ➡️ Cade Stover for the 2-point conversion
This was only Baker Mayfield’s 5th completed pass, and the Bucs are up 33-6 on the Panthers at the half.
Dallas Turner came into today ranked second in the NFL this season with 33 pressures, per @NextGenStats, which had him down for an average pass rush get-off of 0.77 seconds.
Turner blew by Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox here, flying in for a sack.
Caleb Williams and Drake Maye have different personalities and different builds, but their playmaking chops make them kindred spirits on the football field.
"They're more similar than not," Bears backup QB Tyson Bagent told me.

The off-script playmaking of Caleb Williams & Drake Maye makes them two of the top creators in the sport. It was the premier attraction last night.
"They're young superstars," said center Garrett Bradbury, who's played with both QBs the past two seasons.

The Patriots tacked on a FG but couldn't recover the subsequent onside kick.
The Bears hold on for the 30-24 "TNF" win. Both Caleb Williams and Drake Maye threw for more than 300 yards.
Williams prevailed in that duel.
The Soldier Field crowd rejoices after Cairo Santos drills a redemptive 58-yard FG.
It's 30-21 Bears with 1:34 to go.
The big-time throws keep on coming for Caleb Williams. Heck of a grab by Rome Odunze to complete the critical hookup.
That was good for 21 yards on third-and-9 with less than 5 mins to go.
Caleb evades the free runner and launches another missile over the middle.
That could be a game-changer, was third-and-11.
Patriots have cleaned up their protections, accounting for these exotic Bears looks, and even when pressure has seeped through, Drake Maye has been exceptionally stoic of late.
He’s now 18 of 22 with 253 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT.
