Heading into Week 2 of the NFL season, here are two areas I'll have an eye on when it comes to quarterback props.

QUARTERBACK TRENDS

Quarterback efficiency was a trend across the league last week, as there were 16 interceptions thrown in Week 1, the fewest in a season-opening week since the 1970 merger. If 24 or fewer interceptions are thrown this week, it would mark the lowest total through two weeks since 1970, surpassing the 2008 season (41 interceptions).

These are the seasons with the fewest interceptions thrown through the first two weeks of the season since 1970:

Also in Week 1, dual-threat quarterbacks made their mark. There were 13 rushing touchdowns by quarterbacks in Week 1, the second-most in a single week all-time, trailing only Week 15 of the 2020 season, when there were 14 rushing touchdowns. With four rushing touchdowns by quarterbacks in Week 2, it would mark the most through two weeks of a season in NFL history, surpassing the 2021 and 2020 seasons, each with 16 rushing touchdowns.
