There are good explanations for why Philadelphia is still No. 1 in DVOA, and why New England isn't No. 1 yet. But there's no good explanation for why so many field goal kickers are struggling in 2016, especially on clutch kicks.
Even veteran Football Outsiders readers may be scratching their heads when they see that the Philadelphia Eagles are still on top of our DVOA ratings after Sunday night's overtime loss to Dallas. In fact, there's still a big gap between the Eagles and everyone else. Meanwhile, New England -- the team that is pretty much No. 1 in the NFL by acclamation right now -- is still just fourth after an easy win over Buffalo.
