Sauce is THE best CB by almost measure. It’s kind of ridiculous actually. Meinke had a breakdown on those numbers in the mailbag:
“Gardner has been getting it all season. The Detroit native has been targeted just 69 times on 614 coverage snaps, which is as bananas as it sounds. He’s allowed justr one catch per 19.5 snaps in coverage and a passer rating of 49.3, both of which lead the league. Not rookies -- the league. And he’s doing it at a position notoriously difficult on rookies. By all measures, he’s the defensive rookie of the year.“
