0:43.2	Hey, what's up? Happy Friday. If you're really, really, really, really into football,
0:47.5	and I would imagine that you are, if you're watching this in the third week of February,
0:58.8	then you'll know about these next-gen stats layouts that the NFL offers now for where the quarterbacks throw over the course of a given game. It's dots that end up showing the targets, the air targets.

2:06.6	And he started to get really good, and it really wasn't until week five that he started
2:12.6	to misfire on just a handful of passes. Week six that kind of lingered a bit for him. But the main thing
