Immanuel Glover · Answer 1

Given that Blake's average for the 9-game season is 280 passing yards per game, the total passing yard for the 9 games will be 280x9 which is equal to 2520. If we multiply this value by 1.25 because of the 25% increase, the answer would be 3150. Thus, the difference from this value to the breaking record is 36.
