Tyler Shough on deep passes this season Best in NFL 99.9 Grade ✅ 15

What happened: PFF graded Tyler Shough at 99.9 on deep passes with a 156.3 passer rating. He completed 75.0% for 24.6 yards per attempt, with five big-time throws and zero turnover-worthy plays.

Why it matters: The downfield production underpins a league-high 410 passing yards. That vertical separation forces Week 3 defenses to defend more of the field.

By the numbers: Deep line: 99.9 grade, 156.3 rating, 75.0% completions, 24.6 yards per attempt, five big-time throws against zero turnover-worthy plays.

What to watch: Watch whether the deep efficiency holds against two-high coverage in Week 3.
