From the article

Rodgers attempted nine deep passes in Week 1 – he averaged just three such passes per game in 2025. They also threw the ball far more in Week 1 than they did in all but two games last season, and his average depth of target was north of 10 yards, something he didn't do once last season. This represents a significant scheme shift toward vertical passing that should support higher-ceiling performances going forward.
