Efficiency
Expected points added (EPA) per play from our own model: how much each play raised or lowered the points a team could expect, given down, distance, field position and the clock. Success rate: the share of plays that added any. Passes and runs only, regular season. How it is computed
In 2024, the Detroit Lions ran the most efficient offense (+0.16 EPA a play) and the Cleveland Browns the least (−0.27); the Denver Broncos allowed the fewest on defense (−0.13) and the Carolina Panthers the most (+0.13). Top passer by EPA a play: Jared Goff (DET), +0.31 over 569 plays. Top rusher by EPA a play: Derrick Henry (BAL), +0.18 over 296 plays. Top receiver by EPA a play: DeVonta Smith (PHI), +0.78 over 87 plays.
LeaderboardsOur model: fitted on 2020 season, 2021 season, 2022 season, 2023 season, 2024 season, 2025 season; graded on 2025 season, which it never saw, it is off by 3.50 points on average against the next score (a plain average: 3.81).
