Lowest pressure to rack rate this season (min 100 dropbacks) Brock Purdy 0.0% Bo Nix 8.8% Ki Via @PFF on X

What happened: PFF released a season pressure-to-sack ranking with a 100-dropback minimum. Bo Nix sits second at 8.8%, followed by Kirk Cousins at 9.6%, Matt Stafford at 10.3% and Dak Prescott at 10.9%.

Why it matters: Avoiding sacks keeps offenses on schedule and protects down-and-distance. That tracks with his early-season stretch without a sack on 15 pressures.

By the numbers: Pressure-to-sack rate (min. 100 dropbacks): Purdy 0.0%, Nix 8.8%, Cousins 9.6%, Stafford 10.3%, Prescott 10.9%.

What to watch: Watch whether Purdy's rate holds as dropback volume climbs past the qualifying threshold.
