re: sportsball
@aescling there's a reason that the aphorism "defense wins championships" exists in football
in 2015 the broncos won the goddamn superbowl with one of the greatest defenses of all time and an anemic offense led by Peyton Manning in the final season of his his career where he had his worst statistical year since his rookie year
re: sportsball
@aescling for comparison, the average yards/game for quarterbacks in 2015 was 243.8 yards, which over 16 games is ~3900 yards
re: sportsball
@aescling a 1:1 TD:Int ratio is considered bad, so throwing more interceptions than touchdowns is horrible
re: sportsball
@aescling that season peyton manning threw for ~2200 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions, which is just a terrible statline for a starting qb
