Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 88.9?
Lock's grade is driven by strong per-play production: he ranks 3rd among qualifying quarterbacks in adjusted expected points added per dropback and threw more accurately than expected. This comes from just 50 dropbacks over two games, so a handful of plays carry heavy weight, including a pair of long touchdowns to Smith-Njigba.
Lifting the grade
- Adjusted EPA per dropback of +0.574 ranks 3rd of 34 QBs, boosted by tougher-than-average defenses faced
- Completion percentage over expected of +6.9 points ranks 12th of 34
- Deep touchdown to Smith-Njigba for 82 yards in week 2 vs ARI (+6.9 expected points)
