STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Mayfield's efficiency against the blitz is inflated by short-area passing.

Baker Mayfield has struggled with turnovers through two weeks, including fumbles in Week 1 and an interception in Week 2, totaling 18 giveaways. While he has high completion percentages against the blitz, the source notes these numbers are inflated by a high volume of passes behind the line of scrimmage.
