Which Brian Lewerke will show up on Saturday? The good, the bad, or the ugly?

After a concerning 2018, Lewerke is off to a good start through four games in which he has seven touchdowns to just one interception, something he struggled with a season ago.

Something that has greatly improved over his career is his completion percentage. Sitting around 57 percent for his career before 2019, he is up to 63 percent through four games, a far cry from his career low 54 percent last season.

Part of the upswing for Lewerke has been his ability to finish with a touchdown in the redzone, and not turning it over in that area.
