Mike McCarthy (!) and Aaron Rodgers shredded the Bengals’ man coverage last week. Can they repeat vs a Browns defense that plays a ton of man? Discussed tonight’s game with @sheilkapadia.bsky.social 👇 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... 📺: youtu.be/T-iIYMXudpY?...

Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 13.0?
Rodgers' grade is low mainly because he completed fewer passes than expected and his plays added little expected points. He ranks 24th of 27 qualifying QBs. Turnovers in weeks 1 and 2 were his costliest moments, though he graded better in weeks 3 and 4.
Holding it back
- Completion percentage over expected was -3.5 points, 24th of 27, which pulled the grade down a lot.
- EPA per dropback, adjusted for defenses, was -0.135 expected points per play, 22nd of 27.
- Costly plays: a week 2 fumbled sack against NE (-7.4 expected points) and a week 2 interception on 2nd and 17 (-4.8).
