Stat of the Week

Week 7--
The STAT OF THE WEEK feature highlights the one stat contributing most points to the victory.

New England Patriots--Miami Dolphins

Yards per Pass Att (12.4 vs 5.1) contributed 23.4 points to the 21-point win.


New England Patriots' QB Brady bombed the Miami Dolphin pass D last Sunday earning 12.4 yards per pass attempt. Is this good, bad or indifferent?

Hey, get ready for this. It's merely great. Twelve yards per toss DOUBLES the league average and more than accounts for the 21-point New England victory by contributing 23.4 points to this 7th straight victory.

The stat graphic below pictures the impact made on a team's scoring differential (Winning Margin). All of the Patriots' wins (YELLOW diamond flag) are linked to games when the Pats were stronger than average on yards per pass attempt.

It's flip side for the Dolphins: Their passing game continues to suffer with weekly performances generally below league average line (light BLUE). And the won-lost outcome follows suit.

Yards per Pass Attempt is our Number One Killer Stat.
