Which Underdog Will Shock the NFL in This Weekend’s Conference Championship Showdowns?
His performance was reminiscent of what he did against the Eagles in Week 16, when he completed 7-of-11 passes against the blitz for 163 yards with two touchdowns, one interception and a 108.9 QB rating.
The Eagles have the NFL’s second-lowest blitz rate at 19.9 and would be wise to avoid such a tactic given Daniels’ proficiency at exploiting it, but even a simple pass rush is something he’s proven he can best.
Since Washington’s winning streak began in Week 13, no QB is throwing a higher rate of catchable passes while being pressured or throwing to an open receiver at a higher frequency than Daniels at 80.6%. His completion rate of 74.2 on throws while being pressured ranks second among the 30 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 30 such passes.
