The Atlanta Falcons' 0.25 Adjusted NEP Per Play Leads the NFL

The Atlanta Falcons are the clear-cut leaders in offensive efficiency this season, with no other team sitting above 0.20 Adjusted NEP per play.

In fact, no team since 2000 -- when we began tracking NEP -- has ever finished a season better than 0.25 Adjusted NEP per play.

Take a look at how the Falcons fare in the traditional offensive categories compared to the rest of the league.

Category Stat League Rank
Passing Yards 3,844 3rd
Passing Touchdowns 30 3rd
Interceptions Thrown 7 T-8th (fewest)
Rushing Yards 1,386 16th
Rushing Touchdowns 15 T-3rd
Fumbles Lost 3 T-1st


Two of Atlanta's remaining three opponents rank among the bottom six teams in Adjusted Defensive NEP per play, giving the Falcons a great opportunity to continue their current pace.
