Next Gen Stats: 2017 Week 3
Try to keep up with this week's max speeds, passer ratings, and deepest pass in this edition of Next Gen Stats.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott traveled outside the tackle box more than any other quarterback this week, throwing 33.3% outside. Prescott's 149.3 passer rating was the second highest in his career and his 120 yards on those attempts was also the highest of his career, with his second-closest at 83 yards from his 2016 Week 9 game against the Cleveland Browns.

For the 2nd week in a row, Saints quarterback Drew Brees had a perfect passer rating (158.3) against the blitz.

Jaguars running back Corey Grant had the lowest distance traveled per rush yard gained this week with 1.81 yards.

Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones created the highest separation among wide receivers with 3.2 yards of separation when pressed at the line of scrimmage.

Rams running back Todd Gurley got some good movement up front on Thursday, allowing him to gain an average of 1.3 yards per carry before a defender got within one yard of him. Compare this to his 2016 average of -0.1 yards per carry and you will notice how much the offensive line has improved this season.

Last season, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was the best in the league on deep pass attempts as his 135.4 passer rating was the best mark among quarterbacks with 30 or more deep pass attempts. This week, however, he didn't seem to be on the same page as his receivers as he did not complete a single one of his five deep pass attempts. This is the only game over the past two seasons where Ryan has failed to complete a deep pass.

Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs had a huge game against the Buccaneers as he hauled in 8 of his 11 targets for 173 yards and two touchdowns. With an average separation on targets of 1.84 yards (his 2nd lowest average in a single game since the 2016 season), Diggs was targeted in tight windows on 6 attempts on Sunday, catching 4 for 127 yards. His two touchdowns of the game were on tight window throws.

In an attempt to alleviate pressure on the struggling Giants offensive line, Giants quarterback Eli Manning attempted to get the ball off faster. With a 2.00 second average, his time to throw on Sunday was his fastest of the last 2 seasons. Sunday marked Manning's first loss since the start of the 2016 season in games where he spent 55 percent or more of his attempts releasing the ball faster than 2.50 seconds

Two of Kansas City's players made the top five fastest this week when scoring a touchdown. Bengals cornerback William Jackson topped this list on a pick-six traveling 21.52 miles per hour.

Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence has been a monster this season for Dallas, and the emerging pass rusher leads the league in pressure rate so far this season.

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is a fast man. He ran over 18 miles per hour twice this week when carrying the ball, only to be edged out by DeShone Kizer for the top spot at 18.92 miles per hour.

Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald made some circus-like grab in Sunday's game. Fitzgerald ended up putting together a fantastic stat-line in tight windows, tying Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin with a perfect passer rating (158.3) when thrown to on these plays in Week 3.
