Next Gen Stats for Super Bowl LII
The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots will battle for the Super Bowl LII title! Take a look at which players are featured in this week's Next Gen Stats.
In games that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has lost, he's seen more pressure from interior defenders (46.3% of his pressures) as opposed to when he won (39.6% of his pressures). The Eagles have the 6th-best pressure rate on the interior (14.4%).
The Eagles defensive line depth is unparalleled in the league, as they have 5 of the top 25 most disruptive defensive lineman this season in terms of disruptions rate. No other team has more than 2.
Brady and New England Patriots wide receiver Brandin Cooks have had difficulties with deep passes (20+ air yards) towards the end of the season (23.5% catch rate and 2 INT since Week 13) and the Eagles have the 2nd-best passer rating (39.3) allowed on deep passes this season.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles had a huge game for the NFC Championship Game, excelling in 5 Next Gen Stats passing categories (pressure, blitz, deep passes, tight windows, 4.00+ seconds) - for the season, the Patriots defense ranks among the worst in 3 out of those 5.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is one of the best when pressed (< 3 yards of pre-snap cushion) as he has a 116.3 passer rating, and he faces the Patriots CBs who have the 6th-highest press rate (39.1%).
Eagles wide receivers have excelled out of the slot when opponent cornerbacks are their nearest defender (110.2 passer rating), and New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler seems to have a weakness when targeted in those instances (114.4 passer rating allowed).
