No.

He is the QB that threw the second most pick 6's this season (4). Only Philip Rivers managed more (5).

Then Derek Carr, Jay Cutler and Peyton Manning on three.

Tony Romo, Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Matt Schaub, Jameis Winston, Drew Brees, Colin Kaepernick, Mat Cassell, Ryan Tannehill, Marcus Mariota, Nick Foles on two.

And a whole load of QBs on one - in total, 29 QBs threw at least one pick 6 this season.

Of all of them, only two (Romo and Kaepernick) managed multiple pick 6's in a single game.

I haven't mastered the tools well enough to tell you what the pick 6 percentage for each of these players is - if it's anything like the INT percentage, it'll drop Bortles down the ranks a few places.

In terms of how painful these plays were, two of Bortles' pick 6's came when there was one score between the teams. Surprisingly, every other player with three or more pick 6's had three of theirs in close game situations.

It's also worth pointing out that he's one of only three QBs to be credited with a pick 6 on a deep pass, where the resulting touchdown is less easy to blame on the QB. That one went 25 yards down the field before being returned - the others were 4, 5 and 6 and were all on first down.
