Or does he know how to throw the ball to draw a foul? Can we see the foul and get a free play that’s 50/50?
Seems like the current QBs still have alot to learn
Mahomes doesn’t have a gag reflex
I need to see the full list. Is he an outlier making it seem suspect or are there several in this range?
He had one yesterday a few plays before CTB’s incredible interception that was called back on a very suspect flag.
In fairness to Mahomes, he made up for it by promptly throwing another INT shortly after
Ok, now list how many current starters were even in the league as far back as 2018. This is a longevity stat. I’d wager he’s also among the top 5 most intercepted QBs over that interval even given his low career interception rate simply owing to the fact that most starting QBs don’t last anywhere near 7 years.
This is also completely failing to account for the fact that there are multiple different kinds of defensive penalties that can wipe out a pick, not all of which can be said to have “bailed out” the QB. Anytime he saw someone jump offsides and opted to throw a risky pass knowing he had a free play, that would count the same as a DPI by this metric.
OP just sad his team gave all the money they had to Hurts instead of the refs
i am so tired of the chiefs 😭
What stat is that? Most interception overturned by a penalty?
The end of the article actually references Mahomes as being the next up and coming QB to take advantage of this. He doesn’t have the most INTs called back for penalties because the refs help him, he has them because he knows that it’s no-risk play and can make an extra aggressive attempt.
This can be a bit misleading. Many of the INT’s on flagged plays are when the flag is already out and he’s making a “fuck it” throw because it’s a free play. No risk, high potential reward because the play will be called on the defense.

This is a very common thing for elite QBs. There was an article about Aaron Rodgers and “free plays” in 2019: https://operations.nfl.com/gameday/analytics/stats-articles/aaron-rodgers-takes-advantage-of-free-plays-better-than-anyone/
