do NFL quarterbacks tend to play worse on the road than at home?

I've never bothered digging, but I assume they do worse on the road because of crowd noise and having a harder time calling audibles. Is it is simple as Brees playing all his home games in a dome and most of his road games outside?

  - Yes, but those splits are enormous. - By GritsGoBlue September 6, 2026 at 09:12:06 AM
  - Brees played some home games outdoors, and H/R splits are subsumed by stadium splits. Check out Brady’s dome split (paste) - By mgaelster September 6, 2026 at 09:09:45 AM
    - Should also point out that Brees played dome road games too nm - By mgaelster September 6, 2026 at 09:18:47 AM
