And the other one was, you know, based on Daniel Jones and his box score stats

0:15.0

was quite a bit different than his PFF stats, which you don't see a ton, but every once in a while

0:20.6

that happens.

0:22.0

And I think what that says is the environment was very favorable for Daniel Jones last year.
