What happened: The table His passer rating when under pressure sits at 158.3, tied for the league high.

Why it matters: The combination pairs downfield creation with minimal risk, the profile that sustains drives and scoring chances. After being cleared to start Week 1 following a knee injury, maintaining that balance carries early-season weight.

By the numbers: Big-time throw rate: 6.7% (1st). Turnover-worthy play rate: 1.3% (career low). Passer rating when under pressure: 158.3 (tied 1st).

What to watch: The next test is sustaining those rates as blitz pressure increases in coming weeks.
