STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Stafford's deep passing collapsed to 28% completion; 9% of throws vs. 14.8% last year.

Stafford's deep passing attack has disappeared; on passes traveling 20+ yards, he's completed just 7 of 25 attempts (28%) for 244 yards with 1 TD and 4 INTs, comprising only 9% of his total throws. This is a major step back from his 2025 MVP season when he completed 48 of 106 deep attempts (45.3%) for 1,532 yards with 12 TDs and 1 INT at a 14.8% clip of total throws. The loss of Puka Nacua's deep-field role (he accounted for 9 of these plays with 2 receptions for 60 yards) is a primary driver.
