5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 9
The Atlanta Falcons Lead the NFL With 305 Points
The Atlanta Falcons are averaging 33.89 points per game through nine games this season. That puts them on pace for 542.22 points over a full 16 game season, which would rank sixth all time. The last team to eclipse the 540-point mark was the Denver Broncos back in 2013 when they set the record with 606 points scored.
This offense also currently leads the the NFL with 0.26 Adjusted NEP Per Play. If they can keep up that efficiency over rest of the season, the Falcons would eclipse the record of 0.25 that the New England Patriots set in 2007. (Our NEP database goes back to 2000.)
In Week 10, Atlanta will take on the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed 24 or more points in four of their past five games.
