The Washington Redskins and Seattle Seahawks posted a 13-1 combined record from Week 10 forward this season.

2012 QBs When Pressured: Weeks 10-17

Their quarterbacks, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson, combined for 25 touchdown passes and four interceptions over that span. Griffin and Wilson also combined for five rushing touchdowns, four by Wilson.

While both are known for their ability to move, Wilson has fared much better since Week 10 when pressured, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The chart shows Wilson with triple the completion percentage, a 254-33 edge in passing yards, a big edge in rushing production and a 49.4 to 0.7 advantage in Total QBR over RG III on these typically negative plays.

I ran across the disparity while combing through game logs for each player. I first noticed that Griffin oddly posted his four lowest single-game Total QBR scores at home, and Washington was 1-3 in those games. Wilson, meanwhile, posted four of his six highest QBR scores on the road. Seattle went 2-2 in those games and led or was tied in the final 25 seconds of both defeats.

2012 QBs When Pressured: Weeks 1-9

Back to the stats when pressured.

Wilson wasn't always more effective than RG III in these situations. In fact, RG III was quite a bit better than Wilson through Week 9, as the second chart illustrates. He averaged an additional 2.6 yards per pass attempt. He held a 327-139 edge in rushing yardage. The QBR disparity was 67.0 to 11.3.

What has changed?

Wilson and the Seattle offense have improved across the board, for starters. The Seahawks' expanded use of option runs has made the team more difficult to defend. Wilson's receivers have done a better job getting open and sticking with plays when Wilson has scrambled.

I haven't seen RG III consistently enough to know what might be different for him when opponents reach him with pressure. He's taken quite a few more hits than Wilson. Perhaps those hits have had a cumulative effect on him.

Note: We have used a few pressure-related terms on the blog this season. "Duress" is one of them. The plays quarterbacks make while under duress do not include sacks. The pressure stats referenced above do count sacks.
