NFL Team Stats

Every offense and defense on EPA, success rate, explosiveness, tendencies and situational efficiency, with ranks, league averages and percentiles.

Reading the table

Pick Offense or Defense, a season and a window. Rank (#) is EPA per play: for offenses the highest is first, for defenses the lowest allowed is first. Green is better than the league and brick-red is worse, with defensive colours flipped. Display → Show → Percentiles swaps every value for its percentile against the league (100 = best). Greyed cells have fewer plays than that metric's minimum sample, so treat them with care. Click a team for its full profile.

EPA here is raw: it is not adjusted for the opponents a team has faced, so it differs from the opponent-adjusted EPA on Power Rankings. Explosive plays use our long-standing definition (a pass play of 15+ yards or a designed run of 10+); the 20+ yard pass rate is shown alongside it.

Windows. Season is every regular-season game so far. Last 8 / 5 / 3 are each team's most recent games played (bye weeks are skipped, so every team has the same number of games). Home and Away keep only those games; neutral-site games count in Season but in neither split. Every number is recomputed from the plays themselves, never averaged from per-game rates, and a window never uses a game played after its last week.

Free and members. Season and Last 5 are free for everyone. Last 8, Last 3 and the home/away splits are part of Analytics, and every higher plan includes them.

Every metric

Efficiency

EPA/play (raw): Sum of nflverse EPA over scrimmage plays divided by the number of scrimmage plays. Defense: EPA allowed per play, so lower is better. Raw (not opponent-adjusted); the Power Rankings EPA is opponent-adjusted and will differ. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 120.
Success rate: Plays with EPA > 0 divided by scrimmage plays. Defense: success rate allowed. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 120.
Yards/play: Sum of yards_gained over scrimmage plays divided by scrimmage plays. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 120.

Passing

EPA/dropback: Sum of EPA on dropbacks (qb_dropback = 1, incl. sacks and scrambles) divided by dropbacks. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 70.
Dropback success: Dropbacks with EPA > 0 divided by dropbacks. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 70.
Net yds/dropback: Sum of yards_gained on dropbacks divided by dropbacks. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 70.
Comp %: Completions divided by attempts (completions + incompletions + interceptions; no sacks, scrambles or spikes). Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 50.
CPOE: Mean of nflverse cpoe (completion minus the nflverse completion-probability model, x100) over pass attempts where it is defined (throwaways/spikes excluded by nflverse). Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 50.
aDOT: Sum of air_yards over pass attempts with air_yards recorded, divided by those attempts. A style measure: neither high nor low is better. Minimum sample: 50.
YAC/completion: Sum of yards_after_catch on completions divided by completions with YAC recorded. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 30.
YAC over expected: Mean of (yards_after_catch − xyac_mean_yardage) over completions where both are defined. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 30.
Sack rate: Sacks divided by dropbacks. Offense: lower is better; defense: higher is better. Minimum sample: 70.

Rushing

EPA/rush: Sum of EPA on non-dropback scrimmage plays divided by those plays. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 50.
Rush success: Designed runs with EPA > 0 divided by designed runs. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 50.
Yards/rush: Sum of yards_gained on designed runs divided by designed runs. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 50.

Explosiveness

Explosive pass %: Non-sack pass plays (incl. scrambles, excl. aborted snaps and 2-pt tries) gaining ≥ 15 yards, divided by those plays. Same thresholds as the G&W research stores (explosive_pit / trench_pit). Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 70.
Explosive run %: Designed runs (no scrambles, aborted snaps or 2-pt tries) gaining ≥ 10 yards, divided by designed runs. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 50.
Explosive pass % (20+): Non-sack pass plays (incl. scrambles, excl. aborted snaps and 2-pt tries) gaining ≥ 20 yards, divided by those plays. Same base as Explosive pass %; the common public 20-yard convention, kept alongside the G&W 15-yard definition. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 70.

Tendency

Dropback rate: Dropbacks divided by scrimmage plays. A style measure: neither high nor low is better. Minimum sample: 120.
PROE: Mean of nflverse pass_oe / 100 (dropback indicator minus the nflverse xpass model) over snaps where xpass is defined. All situations (not neutral-filtered). A style measure: neither high nor low is better. Minimum sample: 120.
Early-down pass %: Dropbacks on 1st/2nd down divided by 1st/2nd-down snaps. A style measure: neither high nor low is better. Minimum sample: 80.
Shotgun %: Snaps with shotgun = 1 divided by snaps. A style measure: neither high nor low is better. Minimum sample: 120.
No-huddle %: Snaps with no_huddle = 1 divided by snaps. A style measure: neither high nor low is better. Minimum sample: 120.
Neutral sec/snap: Game-clock seconds from a snap to the same offense's next snap on the same drive, when the score is within 7 and outside the last two minutes of either half, regulation only; gaps over 60s (stoppages) dropped. Value = mean gap. A style measure: neither high nor low is better. Minimum sample: 60.

Situational

Early-down EPA: Sum of EPA on 1st/2nd-down snaps divided by those snaps. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 80.
Early-down success: 1st/2nd-down snaps with EPA > 0 divided by those snaps. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 80.
Late-down EPA: Sum of EPA on 3rd/4th-down snaps divided by those snaps. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 40.
3rd-down EPA: Sum of EPA on 3rd-down snaps divided by 3rd-down snaps. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 35.
3rd-down conv %: 3rd-down snaps with third_down_converted = 1 divided by 3rd-down snaps. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 35.
Red-zone EPA: Sum of EPA on snaps at or inside the opponent 20 divided by those snaps. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 30.
Red-zone success: Red-zone snaps with EPA > 0 divided by red-zone snaps. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 30.
Red-zone TD %: Drives reaching the opponent 20 that ended in an offensive touchdown, divided by drives reaching the opponent 20. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Minimum sample: 8.

Ball security

Turnovers/play: (interception + fumble_lost) over scrimmage plays divided by scrimmage plays. Offense: lower is better; defense: higher is better. Minimum sample: 120.

Play-by-play data: nflverse (CC-BY 4.0). Two-point tries count as plays in the overall, dropback and run numbers, matching the rest of our NFL stats; down-and-distance and red-zone numbers leave them out.
