Last week, we went over some of the data included in Football Outsiders Almanac 2020 (still available!) -- specifically, which quarterbacks were best and worst at playing under pressure or from a clean pocket, and who was able to avoid pressure altogether in the first place. Today we're going to flip things around and look at them from a defensive perspective -- which teams had the most and least success pressuring opposing quarterbacks, what they did with that pressure, and how their secondaries held up when the pass rush didn't get home. Keen observers of the 2019 season may expect to see a lot of discussion of the New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers here -- and they would be correct.
