The accumulation of QB hits vs passing efficiency

Ben Baldwin

In a follow-up to his excellent piece on the value of the run game in The Athletic (great website, highly recommended), Ted Nguyen shared the following:

"In-house NFL analytics crews track QB hits and the results of the accumulation of hits and how it affects offensive performance over the course of a game."

Does the accumulation of hits affect offensive performance over the game? Is this finally a feather in the cap for the run game defenders?
