Time and Tempo stats tell us how quickly a team played and how well they controlled the clock. A team with a 33% 4th Down rate elected to go for it (ie not punt or kick a field goal) on ⅓ of the 4th downs they faced. These stats tell us how aggressive a team was on 4th downs and 2 point conversions. A value of -3.5 means that a team threw the ball, on average, 3.5 yards short of the first down marker. “Vs Sticks” is similar to aDOT, but also considers how many yards a team needed to gain for first down. A team with a 9.1 Average Depth of Target (aDOT) threw the ball 9.1 yards down the field on average. Target depth tells us how far down the field teams threw on average. Similar to Personnel, Formation stats are only shown for 1st down. NFL teams will run a majority of their plays from these sets. The most common formations are Shotgun, Single Back, and I-Form. If Personnel tells us which types of players were on the field, Formation tells us how they lined up. If a team has an 80% for 11 Personnel, this means they ran 11 Personnel on 80% of their 1st downs. To help adjust for game context, the distribution here is shown for 1st down plays only. The first number represents the number of RBs while the second number represents the number of TEs - 11 Personnel is 1 RB, 1 TE, and 3 WRs, while 12 Personnel is 1 RB, 2 TEs, and 2 WRs. Personnel groupings tell us the types of players who were on the field. Since PROE can be measured across all plays, it’s better than metrics that only look at passing rates in neutral passing situations (like Neutral Down Pass Rate). Positive PROE means that a team threw more than would be expected by an average team in similar situations. Because game context often dictates a team’s decision to pass or run, Pass Rate Over Expected (PROE) is also shown. Run Pass ratio stats show a team’s percentage split between running and passing plays.
