Pressure and play action

Regular season. Pressure from 2016; play action, blitzes and interception-worthy throws (per attempt) from 2022. The sources changed in 2023, so compare a season with its league, not across years. Pressure and time to throw: NFL Next Gen Stats via nflverse (2016–22) and FTN Data via nflverse (2023 on); play action, blitzes and interception-worthy throws: FTN Data via nflverse (2022 on).
