Justin Fields has played solid and progressively better football through three weeks of the season. The eye test will tell you that. But the stats have a story to share, too. There’s two of them that stick out above all others. His completion percentage and his snap-to-throw times. Both are either really good or improving.
Through three weeks, Fields is completing 73.3 percent of his passes. He’s never even been close to that figure before and is essentially 12 points higher compared to a season ago. Over his first three seasons, Fields hovered between 59 and 61 percent.
