So I was looking at something when I was going back and looking at the game yesterday that I wanted to share with everybody,

0:17.6

because it seemed to me in watching the game that Jaden was under pressure

0:23.7

a lot, that he was facing more blitz pressure than he had faced at any point this year.

0:32.0

So the latter is correct. He faced the highest blitz percentage against the bears that he has faced all year.

2:04.6
