Prescott, Goff, Mahomes Best QBs Against Pressure

Great quarterbacks master dealing with the blitz. They can make aggressive defenses pay by making completions or adding points on the board. Pro Football Focus identified the quarterbacks who have been excellent at beating the blitz since 2021.

Dak Prescott has thrown the most touchdowns against the blitz, with 37. That ability helped the Dallas Cowboys win 12 regular-season games from 2021 to 2023. Meanwhile, the 37 touchdowns against the blitz are part of the 105 touchdowns he completed over the last three seasons.

Meanwhile, Jared Goff is second on the list with 34 touchdowns against the blitz. Those scores are part of the Detroit Lions’ transformation from lovable losers to legitimate playoff contenders. They reached the NFC Championship Game last season after winning 12 regular-season games. His 34 touchdowns against pressure are part of the 82 touchdowns he’s thrown from 2021 to 2023.

Finally, Patrick Mahomes is third with 31 touchdowns against the pass rush. During that stretch, the Chiefs won two Super Bowl titles, while Mahomes won one MVP and two Super Bowl MVP awards. He has thrown 129 touchdowns over the last three seasons and has the Kansas City Chiefs in a position to possibly become the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles.
