Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 64.8?
This grade lands a bit above average mainly because he completed passes at a higher rate than expected for his throws (+3.2 points), while his other numbers were all close to typical for a starting QB. A rough week 1 pulled the overall picture down before he bounced back strongly by week 3.
Lifting the grade
- Completion percentage over expected: +3.2 points, 18th of 37 QBs
- Week 1 deep pass to Kelce for 59 yards on 3rd and 6 (+5.1 expected points)
- Week 2 deep pass to Thornton for 45 yards on 3rd and 11 (+5.1 expected points)
Holding it back
- Week 1 interception intended for Worthy, returned 24 yards (-5.8 expected points)
- Week 3 interception intended for Rice (-3.6 expected points)
- Week 1 sack for an 8-yard loss on 3rd and 4 (-2.2 expected points)
