If you want to understand the history of passing in the NFL, this chart is a good place to start. 2020 was the highest completion percentage year ever (65.2%), and also the lowest Y/C year ever (11.1). Cmp% in BLUE against the LEFT Y-Axis. Y/C in RED against the RIGHT Y-Axis.

If you look closely, Johnson (directly to McDonald’s left) gets the assist as he immediately pushes the snappers back down to make McDonald’s jump easier. If Belichick designed this play we would hear that it would change field goals forever.
Check out Will McDonald (99) on Gano’s FG miss: leaps the snapper and distracts the kicker. Nice job by ST coach Brant Boyer, who inserted McDonald specifically for this type of play. In college, McDonald famously jumped cars, so you know he’s got hops. Google it. #Jets
