- Mac Jones’s throwing precision has improved this season, with his Completion% rising from 64.7% to 72.4%.
Cons
- The New England Patriots have called the 6th-least plays in the NFL since the start of last season, averaging just 55.0 plays per game.
- The Miami Dolphins defense has performed very well when opposing pass-catchers have gotten into space, yielding an average of 4.33 yards-after-the-catch since the start of last season: the 5th-least in the league.
- The Miami Dolphins linebackers grade out as the 9th-best collection of LBs in football since the start of last season in covering receivers.
