Today I wanted to look at some data for the season, discuss takeaways for the Pittsburgh Steelers week ten matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon, and pose some questions for you the readers.
First, let’s look at quarterbacks with the following data points:
- Completed Air Yards = Vertical yards completed on a pass attempt at the moment the ball is caught in relation to the line of scrimmage
- Intended Air Yards = Vertical yards intended on all pass attempts in relation to the line of scrimmage
Right away we can see Lions quarterback Jared Goff and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger have the lowest completed air yards in 2021 along with the second and third lowest intended air yards.
