Yet signal-callers are on pace to throw his way slightly more than last year, when they took just over four shots per game at him. The increase comes despite the fact that Revis has allowed an unheard-of 2.9 quarterback rating—by far the best in the NFL—when passers throw into his coverage zone, according to analysis site Pro Football Focus.

By comparison, his performance this year is dwarfing that of his 2009 season, when he was a runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year and led the league by allowing just a 32.3 quarterback rating. Through seven games, in which he’s recorded four interceptions and allowed just 11 catches for 193 yards, he’s on pace for a career-high interception total and a career low in completions given up, according to Stats LLC.
