Previous Passing Stats:
Lamar Jackson has rushed 92 times for 716 yards, a 7.8 yards per carry average (excluding his 14 kneels for -14 yards). Jackson has rushed for 37 first downs, which is more than Leonard Fournette, Nick Chubb, or Christian McCaffrey. He is a remarkably effective runner, on the level of Michael Vick if not better, while also being an exceptionally efficient passer.
For the second time this season, Jackson posted a perfect passer rating. He’s in the top 10 on the season in both passer rating and ANY/A, and if anything, that probably underrates him. He’s also scrambled 28 times for 285 yards, which probably should be included in his passing numbers and would increase his ANY/A by over 0.2 yards per passing play.
The other notable thing from week 10 was that Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott continued to produce at an MVP level but lost. In the case of Mahomes, a lot of things had to go wrong: running back Damien Williams had a fumble returned for a touchdown, Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins had huge drops, the game-tying field goal was blocked, an earlier field goal attempt was aborted due to a botched snap, and the Chiefs defense was shredded by Derrick Henry. Not to mention Andy Reid getting overly conservative and kicking three field goals on 4th-and-2 or 4th-and-3. That’s how the Chiefs lost despite yet another brilliant game from Mahomes, who had exactly one drive end in a punt or a Mahomes turnover.
As for Prescott, the blame for the Cowboys loss can be equally shared among Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas defense. Elliott and Kalen Ballage (Dolphins) both had nearly identical stat lines in week 10: each back rushed 20 times and picked up 0 first downs, the most carries by any running back in 2019 in a game without a first down (Ballage rushed for 43 yards; Elliott 47). Meanwhile, the Dallas defense allowed 28 points on the first 7 drives of the game, with the average drive beginning on Minnesota’s 24-yard line.

Finally, the week 10 passing differential numbers. There was less of a correlation here between winning the passing battle and winning the game than most weeks, with the Chiefs and Cowboys games being two of those outliers. The Cardinals won the passing battle against Tampa Bay, but went 1/10 on 3rd downs and 1/4 in the Red Zone, while the Bucs went 7/15 and 3/4, respectively. As for the Giants, they may have won the passing battle, but the biggest play of the game was a strip six by Jamal Adams, who stole the ball from Daniel Jones and returned it for a touchdown.
