Keeping 18 upright

How good has the protection been this year?  Crazy good.

According to Elias, Manning has been hit only 14 times all season. Around the league, 10 quarterbacks have been sacked 14 or more times. Aaron Rodgers has been sacked 25 times.

This is a bigger deal than the lack of sacks.  Last year, Manning was among the most hit QBs despite the league low sack numbers.  This number means the line is actually improving when combined with 18’s great YPA
