This one comes from the folks at ProFootballReference.
Pressure %, defined as hurries/QB hits/sacks allowed, as a percentage of pass attempts.
2020: 20.0%
2021: 6.8%
Of course, 2021 is a small sample size, but this is a trend that bodes well for the Rams.
Is it because of better OL play, better QB play, or a more credible deep threat keeping defenders out of the box? Answer: yes.
Another reason I chose this as the Stat of the Week is that there is only one team in the NFL that is allowing a lower pressure rate than the Rams: Tampa Bay Bucs at 6.7%.
QB pressure will be a huge factor in next week's showdown against the defending champs.
