I am Ben Dickson from Arlington, VA. I go to school at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA, where I am double majoring in International Relations and Journalism. I am an avid ultimate frisbee player, and I am the assistant captain of the Lehigh Men's Ultimate Frisbee A team. In my free time, I love to be outside and stay updated on current events.
I am a very passionate NFL fan and hope to be a sports journalist when I am older, so I chose to look at this year's NFL Playoff QB's and compare them by using their passer scores.

This was an interesting find, as he was harshly criticized during the season. The data was provided by ESPN
