Justin Fields Under Pressure: Reality vs Perception

Supposedly, according to Pro Football Focus, the managed 35 pressures against the in their opening matchup, the second-highest number in the NFL (behind the Cowboys vs the Giants). This total suggests that the Bears allowed pressure on just under half of all offensive snaps, and emotionally that feels accurate.

PFF specifically listed Nate Davis as surrendering 9 pressures, Braxton Jones as surrendering 1, and the other members of the offensive line as giving up 5 apiece (for 25 total, with the other ten not being charged against the line). That breakdown should raise a few eyebrows, because almost anyone who has watched any tape breakdown should be curious how Lucas Patrick and Darnell Wright ended up being assigned the same number of pressures allowed.
