From the article

Stafford was very efficient in an underneath passing game plan. As was the case last week, he was under five air yards per attempt. He identified the open areas in the coverage, got the ball out quickly, and was accurate.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stafford efficient in short-game scheme but limited deep-ball opportunities.

Stafford was very efficient in an underneath passing game plan with under five air yards per attempt; he identified open coverage areas, got the ball out quickly, and was accurate, though the source notes pass blocking appeared good enough to allow more downfield shots but Stafford took advantage of the short game that was available.
