The problem is Jacoby Brissett's shocking inaccuracy on long balls. Brissett on the season has completed five of his 26 throws of more than 20 yards; he's 22 percent below his expected completion rate on those attempts. He ranks 36th out of 40 qualifying quarterbacks in EPA per pass on deep throws. Brissett has never been a superb downfield passer, but it has never been this bad.

Brissett's deep-ball accuracy (5-of-26 on 20+ yards) is historically poor

Brissett has been shockingly inaccurate on deep throws in 2026, completing only 5 of 26 passes of 20+ yards (22 percent below expected completion rate) and ranking 36th of 40 qualifying QBs in EPA per pass on deep throws. While he has never been a superb downfield passer, the source notes 'it has never been this bad,' creating a ceiling on receivers like Michael Wilson who depend on deep opportunities.
