- The Los Angeles Rams offensive line grades out as the worst in the league this year in pass protection, which has a negative impact on all passing offense metrics across the board.
- The Carolina Panthers defense has excelled when opposing pass-catchers have gotten into space, conceding an average of 5.43 yards-after-the-catch this year: the 3rd-least in football.
- The Carolina Panthers defensive front has gotten pressure on opposing quarterbacks a measly 2.31 seconds after the snap (on average), grading out as the best in football since the start of last season.
