Yes, it’s basically an arm punt. But the Bengals’ coverage-focused defense is basically doing the anti-Mahomes tactic of daring a guy who loves to throw deep to not be as aggressive as he wants. Will Stafford adapt better than Mahomes did?

Stafford was sporting a near perfect passer rating before that interception. The Rams need him to be sharp, because the running game isn’t getting it done, averaging 2.2 yards per rush on 12 attempts.

Was just about to say the same, Michael: If that’s Stafford’s turnover for the evening, a true arm punt that results in a touchback is effectively harmless.
