…Tom Brady vs. pressure

Brady, quietly, is a mess this year. Consider this passage from the Washington Post’s Neil Greenberg: “Brady’s completion rate falls from 71 percent in a clean pocket to 34 percent when facing pass pressure, the worst mark among qualified quarterbacks, per Pro Football Focus. His passer rating drops from 102.6 to 49.3 in those same situations, one of the worst ratings among qualified quarterbacks.”

As a whole, Brady has completed just 60.5 percent of his passes this year. By the way, the Bengals seem to be uncovering their pass rush in recent weeks led by Carlos Dunlap and Carl Lawson. If there’s an avenue to an upset, it’s probably here.
