Justin Herbert struggles with pressure rating after solid rookie season
Summary

Justin Herbert's under-pressure performance has significantly declined since his impressive rookie season in 2020. Initially boasting the highest passer rating under pressure at 99.4, his ratings have varied drastically, reducing to 61.8 through two games this season. This ongoing struggle contrasts sharply with Josh Allen, who remains consistently high in this category. Herbert's accuracy under duress is now a focal point as he prepares for a crucial match against the Bills, where the efficiency of his reserve-laden offensive line will also play a role.
