The whole “under center” thing In the NFL has been a total bust. Most teams that talked a big game about going under center immediately abandoned it and those that stuck with it have done so to their detriment.
The Commanders spent the whole offseason talking about getting under center more, but through six games they've not been able to get much production from those looks. I broke down their struggles: markbullock.substack.com/p/commanders...

Kirk Cousins has faced the 10th-most pressures (92) of any QB (MNF pending), but his 10.2 percent pressure-to-sack rate is fifth-best among QBs (min. 200 dropbacks). When the switch to Fernando Mendoza happens, the bad sack-avoidance traits he displayed in college could make life rough.

Butker has missed seven field goals over his past 11 games. Hate to see it.
Harrison Butker (Kansas City) ranks dead last in field goal pts over expected at -7.69, behind Trey Smack -7.28 (Green Bay) & Harrison Mevis -6.87 (Free Agent) Leaders: Will Reichard +9.47 (Minnesota), Chase McLaughlin +8.78 (Tampa Bay) & Ka'imi Fairbairn +8.56 (Houston)
This is really something since Mike Tomlin was one of the most reliably conservative fourth down decision makers in modern NFL history. Here's fourth down data from 2020-2025:
Mike Tomlin supports Dan Campbell's late fourth-down decision, pointing to the fact that both the Lions and Packers have elite quarterback play.
