Today I wanted to take a look at the successful play stat for NFL offenses that many follow, including us here at Steelers Depot. The goal for today is to look at how many measure it currently, see how the results stack up to the ultimate goal of winning, and see if tweaking the stat could possibly give us a more predictive and beneficial data point moving forward.
I provided and tracked success rates through the season, so we will start with those measures thanks to prior coding from Brad Congelio as a framework. Let’s start with a total view of pass and run plays.
