Remember Red Zone and Close Game Factor adjustments will be reflected in on-screen ratings

Protect the QB By: Passing against a Run Defense Play-action pass against a Run defense or AP+RK Shorter Passes Less than 5 WRs Reduce Interceptions by:
Screen, Short or Medium Short Passes

Watch Out for:

Play-action pass against a Pass Defense


Blitzes against medium + passes When QB forced to switch from DC

Be Aware of: LPD +50 to dice roll if wrong defensive call and a negative LPD rating -50 to dice roll if correct defensive call and a positive LPD rating Sideline Defense Offense benefits from inside pass (+4%) Offense loses out against outside pass (-4%) DC?

Watch Out for: Throwing into Double Coverage Watch Out for: Throwing into Double Coverage Receiver Overusage Receiver Fatigue

Increase Pass Success by: Play-action pass against a Run defense or AP+RK
Passing to non-DC receiver (when other is in DC)

Remember
If the QB is NOT hurried then the DN effects of a blitz are ignored, but you still get the UP benefit on yards

Play-action pass against a Pass Defense


Passing in 2TE formation When QB forced to switch from DC TC?

Remember A ** (or to a lesser extent *) rated CB has the ability to provide coverage similar to DC. So if you face such a CB, play as if an extra receiver will be double covered.
