Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 0.1?
This grade is low mainly because his completion rate fell well short of expectation and his plays cost the team points on average, ranking near the bottom of all QBs. Through just 44 dropbacks over two games, a few interceptions weighed heavily on the result.
Holding it back
- Completion percentage over expected was -13.4 points, 33rd of 34 QBs.
- EPA per dropback was -0.645, last among qualifying QBs.
- Week 1 vs PIT: a pass intended for Robinson was intercepted by Watt and returned for a touchdown (-8.3 expected points).
