Undoubtedly, one of the best things about watching the number 9 play is when he absolutely launches the game for a huge win. This week, NFL.com highlighted the top 10 air distance connections this season and a Stafford pass made the list.
As a reminder, according to the Next Gen Stats glossary: “Air distance is the number of yards the ball has traveled in a pass, from the launch point to the receiving point (in a straight line). Unlike Air Yards, Air Distance measures the actual distance the passer throws the ball. “
