Last season : 63.9% completion rate for 4,108 yards and 23 touchdowns against five interceptions with a 100.8 passer rating and a 46.7% passing success rate This season : 63.3% completion rate for 3,117 yards and 15 touchdowns against nine interceptions with an 87.9 passer rating and 42.9% passing success rate Why the dip: Defenses are playing him differently, for one.
