Justice Mosqueda brings in Next Gen Stats' Keegan Abdoo to dissect the Packers' ugly loss to the Lions with new pressure probability data.

Justice Mosqueda opens the episode by explaining Evan Tex Western's absence and introducing Keegan Abdoo from Next Gen Stats. Keegan details the new pressure probability model, inspired by Big Data Bowl submissions and developed with Amazon's machine learning lab. He highlights Rashan Gary's NFL-leading pressure rate and peak pressure probability, noting his improvement each year. The Packers' offensive line is examined, with Royce Newman and Rasheed Walker allowing 12 pressures each against the Lions, while Zach Tom and Josh Myers have performed well. Jordan Love's high average depth of target and tight-window throws are discussed, alongside AJ Dillon's drop in rushing success rate. Keegan explains the real-time data process for Thursday Night Football broadcasts, including research packets and collaboration with analyst Sam Schwartzstein. The Packers' defensive identity involves two-high looks and penny fronts, with Quay Walker generating unblocked pressures. Injury updates cover Jaire Alexander, Aaron Jones, Christian Watson, and Jon Runyan Jr. The episode concludes with Keegan promoting Next Gen Stats' broadcast integrations and Justice summarizing key takeaways.
