From the episode

It's going to be J.J. McCarthy who's getting the start, going up against this salty Houston defense that's basically just built to shut down bad quarterbacks... McCarthy's been miserable in his career when under pressure. Minus 10% completion percentage over expectation.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

McCarthy's pressure struggles and lack of offensive timing spell trouble vs. Houston's QB-shutting defense.

Kyle Pru projects McCarthy will struggle against Houston's defense built to shut down bad quarterbacks; McCarthy has been miserable in his career when under pressure (minus 10% completion percentage over expectation), lacks timing with his entire offense and playbook, and won't move the ball against Houston's salty defense despite his legs potentially suiting their desired scheme.
