Rodgers has faced MAN COVERAGE on 110 dropbacks this season.
No other NFL quarterback has faced it more than 65 times.
Teams are DARING DK Metcalf to beat them.

Mississippi fun fact: Scott Colom was nominated to be a federal judge by Joe Biden. And he was blocked by⦠Cindy-Hyde Smith, via the blue slip process. Now Colom leads Hyde-Smith by 1,138 votes in what would be the upset of the century.

Interestingly, the Chiefs go from one of the unluckiest teams in the regular season to the luckiest in the postseason. The opposite is true for the Steelers.
The Patriots rank last in this regard... and still won a Super Bowl!

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
The luckiest team in the NFL since 2018 is the Steelers: +984 win probability points from luck and penalties in the regular season, 1.7x the next team.
Mike Tomlin's streak of non-losing seasons probably came down to being ready to play and always being in a position to benefit from luck.
Luck + penalties, 2018-2025 regular season (wins above expected):
1. Steelers +984 (+9.8)
2. Texans +572 (+1.9)
3. Chargers +369 (β0.4)
4. Seahawks +363 (+6.8)
5. Vikings +342 (+5.4)
6. Giants +333 (β5.4)

11. Bears +147 (β1.8)

#Seahawks QB Sam Darnold also cracked a rib on the second play of Monday night's game β¦ and played the rest of the game through it.
This was the hit from #Bears DB Kyler Gordon π
The #Steelers lead the NFL in sacks, but are a distant 9th in QB hits and are a bottom 4 team in pressure rate after 8 weeks. It begs the question, how are they making so much of their opportunities to get at the QB? They produce at a high rate when they have opportunities.
