Pittsburgh Steelers--Cleveland Browns
Yards per Pass Att (10.8 vs 2.7) contributed 32.9 points to the 41-point win.

The Stat of the Week is our Killer Stat, Yards per Pass. The Pittsburgh Steelers knocked off the Cleveland Browns with a lopsided score of 41-zip.

The stat contributing most points to this big win was yards per toss.

Our research shows that adding one yard per attempt (moving from 5 yards per throw to 6 yards) adds 3+ points per game (PPG) to the winning margin.

Steeler QB Rothlesberger earned a huge 10.8 yards per toss while Browns' QB Frye threw for a puny 2.7 yards. League average is 6.

The Browns' season average is 6 yards per attempt. But against the Steeler pass D they were purely not competitive.

This large performance disparity contributed 32.9 PPG to the 41-point Steeler victory. Ouch.

That's why we call Yards per Pass our Killer Stat.
