Jacoby Brissett has a reputation as a guy who will take a lot of sacks. In fact, prior to 2019, he stood out as one of the most extreme examples of a quarterback who would rather take a sack than throw an interception. But among all starting quarterbacks in the NFL, it’s Brissett who has the longest active streak of pass attempts without a sack.

Earlier in the week, we looked at quarterbacks who had gone the longest without throwing an interception. Per reader Eric Drew’s suggestion, today we will look at the active streaks for all quarterbacks (through week 5, so excluding the Giants/Patriots TNF game) in terms of pass attempts without taking a sack. As you can see, Brissett has gone 85 pass attempts without a sack. During this stretch, he’s thrown two interceptions, while Deshaun Watson has the longest active streak of pass plays without a sack or an interception:

I also checked to see the longest streak for these quarterbacks without taking a sack since the start of last year. For example, Marcus Mariota hasn’t gone more than 43 pass plays without taking a sack since the start of the 2018 season, while Brissett’s predecessor, Andrew Luck, went 239 straight pass attempts last season without taking a sack.

What stands out to you?
