From the episode
in weeks 11 plus, starting with that first Rams game, his passer rating dropped against man coverage down to 89.3... His explosive pass rate was just 8.8%... His yards per attempt went down to 6.8. His EPA per play was actually negative 0.04.
STACKED’s take
Negative signalUsage
JSN's man-coverage production collapsed in weeks 11+ (89.3 rating, 8.8% explosive rate) as defenses adjusted.
After the Rams' week 11 defensive blueprint, defenses stopped giving JSN one-on-one coverage and instead forced Seattle to beat them with other receivers. In weeks 11+, Darnold's passer rating against man coverage dropped to 89.3 (30-point decline), explosive pass rate fell to 8.8% (cut by two-thirds), yards per attempt declined to 6.8, and EPA per play turned negative at -0.04. JSN only received double-digit single-coverage snaps in one game after week 11 (vs. Falcons, 10 catches, 92 yards, 2 TDs), marking a dramatic shift in how defenses attacked Seattle's offense down the stretch.
