Patriots Aren’t Gonna Lay Down

[LeveeBreak]

Not exact numbers, but:

• Elite Blitz Recognition: Despite the high turnover numbers under general pressure, Darnold was remarkably effective specifically against the blitz, ranking first in the NFL in accuracy with a 90.6 grade, and posting a 10.7% big-time throw rate.

And it feels like has improved recently.

Honestly, our schedule blessed us after the loss to the Rams. We faced 3 teams with Blitz/pressure heavy D’s for Darnold to sharpen the blade. That focus on handling pressure paid dividends that continue to pay off.
