Matt Judon’s sack total has exploded since he joined the New England Patriots. The defensive end has 12.5 through 13 games, which means he is projected to finish the season with 16.3 (using sacks per game).
That’s a huge leap from his previous career-high (9.5), which he has already topped. It seems the Patriots, who signed him this offseason on a four-year, $54 million deal, are onto something that the Baltimore Ravens were not when it comes to deploying Judon.
What’s to credit for the uptick in production?
