The Electronic Arts game announced NFL player ratings Monday for Madden NFL 20. Blough received an overall rating of 48 (out of 100), making him one of the worst players in the game.

"Seeing as 48 overall may be the lowest QB rating ever," Blough tweeted Tuesday. "I've got $250 for the first person who can win league MVP and the Super Bowl on (Madden 20) All-Madden mode. With me, David Blough at QB ... Good luck."

Blough's rating also includes a 55 awareness level, 75 speed, 76 agility, 58 strength and 86 accuracy.

The game tried to comfort the backup quarterback by commenting on his tweet.
