5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 14
The Saints Lead the NFL With 0.18 Adjusted NEP per Play
For most of this season, the New England Patriots have owned the top spot in offensive efficiency, but the New Orleans Saints have claimed the throne, even after their 17-point struggle on Thursday.
New England still leads the way with 0.29 Adjusted Passing NEP per play, sitting 0.04 points higher than the Pittsburgh Steelers and Saints. But New Orleans is the only one of those teams to rank inside the top three in Adjusted Rushing NEP per play, sitting third at 0.12.
Take a look at how their offense stacks up against the rest of the league in yards and scoring.
| Category | Value | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Passing Yards per Game | 265.2 | 5th |
| Passing Touchdowns | 19 | T-17th |
| Rushing Yards per Game | 135.5 | 4th |
| Rushing Touchdowns | 19 | 1st |
Boosting their rushing efficiency is the fact that they have only lost four fumbles all season, which ties them for the ninth-fewest of any team.
The Saints will have a great opportunity to keep rolling in Week 15 against the New York Jets, whose 0.08 Adjusted Defensive NEP per play is the ninth-worst in the NFL.
