Most Big-Time Throws through Sunday of NFL Week 1: Tyler Shough 6 Jalen Hurts 3 Josh Allen 3 http Via @PFF on X

What happened: PFF charted Shough with six big-time throws through Sunday of NFL Week 1. Hurts and Allen were next at three apiece.

Why it matters: The early gap puts Shough at the top of one of Week 1's quarterback aggressiveness measures. Hurts and Allen staying near the top keeps two established passers in the same opening-week tier, but at half Shough's total.

By the numbers: Shough's six big-time throws are double the totals listed for Hurts and Allen. Among the three quarterbacks shown, Shough accounts for half of the 12 combined big-time throws.

What to watch: Week 2 will show whether Shough's early lead holds once the sample moves beyond opening weekend.
