There are 32 qualified passers in the NFL, and only 1 of them has a Cmp% below 60.0% (Zack Wilson), and only 11 have one below 64.0%. How did that happen? It's because Yards Per Completion is the lowest it has been in NFL history. (Also passing yards per game is also at it's lowest since 2009, and passing TDs are at it's lowest since 2008.)
Good stuff TLL, reps man.
