What Is Net Yards Per Play?
It’s pretty simple. The stat combines yards per play and yards allowed per play by deducting the number of yards a team allows per play from the amount it gains on offense.
Why Is Net Yards Per Play Useful?
Why is looking at net yards per play useful? Because looking at net yards per play eliminates random factors such as turnovers, botched kicks and special teams touchdowns.
Of course, randomness plays a large role in the outcome of most sports, but it’s impossible to predict. Analyzing net yards per play gives us a great indication of how good a team truly is. It’s no surprise that the top of the net yards per play rankings is typically crowded with many of the best teams in the country while the bottom is full of sub-.500 and last-place teams.
