They have given up 33 touchdown passes, four more than any other team, and opposing quarterbacks have an NFL passer rating of 104.7, tied with the Jets for highest in the league.įaced with such pathetic competition, Burrow loses 56 DYAR due to opponent adjustments, third-most of any passer this week Prescott loses 26 and would have lost a lot more if he had not been pulled midway through the third quarter. Meanwhile, about 90 minutes to the west, the Washington Football Team has had its own share of injuries and is also in the bottom six in pass defense DVOA. They are allowing 8.2 yards per throw and 13.0 yards per completion, ranking last in the league in both categories, and next to last with an interception rate of 1.1%. The Ravens finished Sunday's game with their top three corners and a starting safety out with injuries they were 30th in pass defense DVOA going into Monday Night Football. ![]() There are other reasons Burrow and Prescott rank lower than you might expect-they also combined for 20 incomplete passes and a half-dozen sacks-but opponent adjustments are the biggest factor holding them down.

We were preparing to update our list of the greatest games ever, but as it turns out, neither was even the best game of the year Prescott was only in fifth place this week. ![]() NFL Week 16 - Joe Burrow opened Boxing Day by dropping 525 yards and five touchdowns on the Ravens, and Dak Prescott closed it by torching Washington for 322 yards and four touchdowns in the first half. ![]()
