NFL: Cleveland Browns at Houston Texans
Arizona Cardinals
Kyler Murray has peaked at 251 passing yards in a game this year.
Murray is coming off a torn ACL and his weapons are far from ideal. He is also learning a new system. All these perfectly reasonable excuses aside, things haven’t been great for the young quarterback in 2023. He ranks 24th in EPA per play and 30th in CPOE.
Atlanta Falcons
Bijan Robinson has the ninth-most targets (74) for a rookie running back since 2000.
At his current pace, Robinson will end the year with 84 targets. That would put him behind only Saquon Barkley, Reggie Bush, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, and Najee Harris.
Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson is on pace for the fewest passing touchdowns by an MVP quarterback since 1987.
With a dominant win over the 49ers in Week 16, Jackson overtook Brock Purdy as the MVP favorite. He is on pace for 22 passing touchdowns and has only converted five scores on the ground. John Elway threw for 19 scores in a strike-shortened 1987 season. One big reason for his low touchdown total is the team’s use of Gus Edwards at the goal line. Baltimore ranks seventh in the league in touchdowns from inside the five, but Jackson is only 24th among quarterbacks in total touchdowns from that area of the field.
Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen is on pace to score the second-most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a single season.
He is on pace for 15 rushing scores, which would be the record if Jalen Hurts didn’t already have as many this year. The big difference between the two is that Allen has seven scores from more than three yards out. Hurts has two such touchdowns.
Carolina Panthers
Bryce Young was Pro Football Focus’s No. 4 graded passer in Week 16.
His 81.3 passing grade was the highest of his rookie season. It was just his second game over a passing grade of 70. Week 16 also saw Young throw for more than 250 yards for the first time. He hit 312 passing yards.
Chicago Bears
