What These Numbers Mean
- EPA
- Expected points added per play: how much a snap changed the points the offense could expect from the drive. EPA per play is adjusted for the opponents faced; the splits are as played, garbage time out.
- Success rate
- Share of plays with positive EPA.
- Explosive plays
- Dropbacks of 20+ yards and runs of 10+, per play.
- Red zone TD
- Possessions with a snap inside the 20 that end in a touchdown.
- Sacks
- Per dropback: the offense's taken, the defense's made.
- Turnovers
- Possessions ending in an interception or a lost fumble: the offense's giveaways, the defense's takeaways.
- Players
- QBs on EPA per dropback (CPOE is completion percentage over expected), backs per carry, receivers per target; ranked among the leaderboard qualifiers.
