Highest rate of Big Time Throws on deep passes this season Patrick Mahomes 62.5% Brock Purdy 57.1% Via @PFF on X

What happened: PFF's deep chart has Purdy second at 57.1%, followed by Lock at 50.0%. Mariota sits at 42.9% with Hurts at 41.7% to round the top five.

Why it matters: Deep completions flip field position in one snap during the 2026 regular season. Sustained deep efficiency forces safeties back and opens underneath windows.

What to watch: Watch Week 4 coverage shells against the early leaders on deep shots.
