Pressures - NFL Advanced Stats

What Are Pressures?

Pressures (Total) records the total number of plays where the quarterback is hurried, hit, or sacked. This NFL player stat is an essential NFL advanced stat for assessing overall defensive disruption faced. High totals can indicate pass protection struggles or heavy defensive pressure schemes. In NFL team stats, pressures are used to measure how often a quarterback is forced into rushed decisions, which can affect completion percentage, turnover rate, and offensive rhythm.
