20 PFF stats to know after Week 1 of the 2019 NFL regular season
www.pff.com
Jared Goff was surprisingly inefficient with extended time in the pocket
Goff posted the worst passer rating among Week 1 quarterbacks on throws where he had 2.5 seconds or more in the pocket. His 28.5 rating on Monday — 9-for-24 with a pick — was a far cry from his 2018 mark of 96.9, which ranked 11th.
Nickell Robey-Coleman was once again dominant from the slot
Yes, his lasting impression will be a blown pass-interference call in last year’s playoff bout with the New Orleans Saints. But let’s focus on the new season, as Robey-Coleman played 29 slot snaps and allowed just one catch for 14 yards on two targets. He finished with the second-best coverage snaps per reception rate among cornerbacks, backing up a 2018 season where he finished third in yards allowed per slot snap (0.71).
Cory Littleton set the standard for a coverage linebacker
It’s hardly a secret that linebackers tend to struggle when covering speedy wideouts, tight ends and running backs. Littleton faced a whopping 10 targets in Week 1 and allowed seven of them to be caught. However, it was for a mere 47 yards, and he notched an interception. His 94.1 coverage grade was tops at his position.
