They say the NFL is a passing league nowadays. The statistics also back that up. Even when a team breaks the all-time NFL record for rushing yards in a single season—they still lead the league in touchdown passes.
On average, teams attempted 558 passes last season, completing 354 of them for 3760 yards, throwing 25 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. That’s 17,853 pass attempts, with 11,331 completions, thrown for 120,301 yards. 797 passing touchdowns. 410 interceptions. Compared to 13,387 rushing attempts, for 57,806 yards.
In other words, for a starting cornerback to see over 1000 snaps in a single season these days and to go that stretch without giving up a single touchdown, that says something.
