Interesting stat from yesterday's game

[Durango2020]

I was looking at box score stats and the NE defense had 0 PDs (Pass Deflections), I checked all other teams box scores and no other defense had 0 Pds (although a couple had 1).
I was thinking this shows that Tua is placing the ball effectively away from the defenders and our receivers having better separation this year is helping out here.

I wanted to see what others think of this and how significant it is?

It's a good stat. We had a lot of check downs and short passes which helps, but you still have to make the right decision. Hill also saved one.

Still, good stat for a game.

Though I feel like I remember a PD on a near INT but whatever I may be wrong.

Specially seeing that NE always prides itself on playing soundly in the secondary. MM looked like a veteran coach out there making calls against the GOAT cheater BB. It looked like he was calling the plays on offense... can anyone confirm?

I believe he was asked about this and confirmed he would be involved but not sure to what level.

Tua generally has good instincts for putting passes away from the defender. That long pass to Hill in the preseason was a good example. It wasn’t perfect but it was still a good pass b/c it was away from the defender.

He doesnt get passes deflected because of the quick release.

I believe its been confirmed the very first pass was deflected to Hill, would of been 6 if it wasnt.
