What happened: Shedeur Sanders followed at 11.9 yards, with Joe Burrow averaging 11.6 and Caleb Williams registering 10.5 among passers with at least five attempts under duress. The metric highlighted efficiency against opposing pass rushes during Week 9 of the 2026 regular season.
Why it matters: The output followed a Week 9 performance in which Love earned a league-best 97.5 passing grade under pressure. Producing explosive plays against blitz-heavy schemes remains a vital separator in second-half offensive production.
By the numbers: In 2026 through nine games, Love has completed 215 of 341 passes for 2,618 yards with 19 touchdowns and six interceptions. Stroud has completed 181 of 282 passes for 2,251 yards with 16 touchdowns and two interceptions in 2026 through eight games.
What to watch: Quarterbacks turn toward Week 10 matchups as defensive units adjust blitz packages for the midseason push.
