NFL Officiating Rules Analyst Walt Anderson appeared on @NFLGameDay with a detailed explanation of the controversial flags thrown Saturday for hits on #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.
Short version, per Anderson: Under the rules, officials got both calls right.
Every #NFL QB's average annual salary as a percentage of their team's total cap.
Note: Only one QB taking up over 14% of his team's total cap has ever won a Super Bowl.
Highest Cap Hit %'s to Win Super Bowl:
∙ Patrick Mahomes ('23): 22.7%
∙ Tom Brady ('21): 13.70%
∙ Tom Brady ('19): 12.22%
∙ Peyton Manning ('16): 11.86%
∙ Eli Manning ('11): 10.70%
Stuff like this sucks. If he cuts back there’s not one but two defenders that tackle him immediately for no gain. Now this pic floats around and people mock Clyde over it when all he’s doing is running the play properly according to his reads.
