Note: a team only draws or commits about 3-5 roughing flags a season, so one or two calls can swing a single year a lot. Each point is a 3-season rolling average to reduce some variance. 1x = league average that season

Which teams get the roughing the passer calls, and which ones get flagged for them? Every team since 2012, compared to the league average: 📈 Bills and Cowboys QBs now draw flags at about 2x the league rate
🧀 Packers QBs have been below average since 2017, while their defense jumped above it this year
🚩 The Jets defense has been flagged at 1.5x+ the league rate since 2019

(This year)

4.1 flags per 100 hits is the league average

The packers break the chart on roughing the passers drawn vs committed

This one’s a little messy but shows changed in the last 5 years vs the 5 prior to that. The Packers' offense barely moved (0.64x to 0.70x the league rate), so they've been one of the hardest teams to draw a roughing flag for the whole last decade. Their defense went from 0.8x to 1.1x, getting flagged more. The biggest movers: Drawing more: Dallas (0.7x → 1.7x), Buffalo (1.1x → 2.0x) and Carolina (0.7x → 1.5x) Drawing less: the Rams, Arizona and Chicago Committing more: New England (0.6x → 1.4x), plus Carolina, Chicago and Tennessee Committing less: Buffalo and the Raiders, both down 0.7x, and Atlanta

The last 5,10 and 15 years are here. Bills: they draw the most roughing flags in every window, by a lot, at 5.6 to 6.7 flags per 100 hits (Josh Allen effect) Packers: below average at drawing flags in all three windows: 2.3 vs. 3.3 league average over 5 years, 2.6 vs. 3.9 over 10 and 3.2 vs. 3.8 over 15. So Love not getting calls fits a longer team pattern that started with Rodgers. Most called on defense: the Bears over the last 5 years, the Jets over 10 and 15. Fewest drawn: the Rams over 5 years and the Giants over 10 and 15.

They were under the rams

They were under the rams

Lol that was crazy. Some legendary QBs Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Cam, Andy Dalton

49ers join the list of teams who outgained their opponent but lost. They outgained the Falcons 400-298 and still lost 29-20 🔁 4 turnovers did it 📊 That's the 10th time this season a team lost while gaining 100+ more yards. Rams' +225 vs Denver in Week 3 tops the list Which of these losses hurt the most?

Hmm interesting

Red zone report card: 📈 49ers lead in points per red zone trip (about 5.6) and are 6-1 🤔 Vikings are 6-0 while scoring under the league average in the red zone 🧀 Packers are dead last (3.5 points per trip) and still 4-3 Can Green Bay keep winning while settling for (and missing) field goals?
