Let’s continue our annual offseason data dive in the ramp up to the 2025 FTN Football Almanac. (Pre-sale available right here!) Last week, we took a look at pressure’s effect on quarterback stats.

The 2024 MVP race between Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson will go down as one of the more shocking ones in NFL history. It was nearly unprecedented for a quarterback to win the MVP award and not be named first-team All-Pro, and yet All-Pro Jackson and MVP Allen dramatically split the awards between them.

This week on FTN: Pressure rate by number of pass rushers! Brian Flores remains a mad bomber. I knew Robert Saleh wasn't much of a blitzer; I just didn't realize how consistent he was at sending four. The Lions replaced quality with quantity. More: https://t.co/lQOVCNHBmz
