JSN's yards per reception dropped from 16.5 in weeks 1-11 to 13 flat after week 11, a nearly 25% reduction; teams adjusted their coverage strategy after identifying the Sam Darnold-to-JSN connection as a primary target, moving away from man-to-man coverage that had initially favored JSN's production.
