Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 59.3?
Keenum's grade sits right around average, built on just one game, so it's an early, shaky read. Every major number - his per-play production, completion accuracy, success rate and win-probability impact - graded out as roughly average, nothing pulling the number up or down much.
Written by StatGrades AI from this season's play-by-play through week 3. It explains what happened; a grade isn't a forecast (what grades do and don't predict).
