How are we judging Brissett this week?

By certain numbers, quarterback Jacoby Brissett played his best game in weeks against the Titans on Sunday. His 25 completions and 319 passing yards are the most he’s produced since Week 7 and when you watch Brissett play, he made more of an effort to throw downfield. But as they say, “there’s more to the surface.”

Despite the Colts’ QB1 putting up a high number of completions and passing yards, his performance was still very much a mixed bag. First of all, there were his two inexcusable interceptions in the second half, which put the Titans in great field position. Secondly, Brissett was sacked multiple times, which makes this the fifth time it has happened this season.

Lastly, it’s a manner of his decision-making while reading the Titans’ secondary. Whether it was through his first couple of reads or after the play broke down, No. 7 missed at least a handful of opportunities to make a big play for the Colts.
