Metric definitions
- A scoring opportunity is a drive that involved the offense getting a first down inside the opponent's 40-yard line. With this, you can measure how well teams finished drives using points per opportunity.
- Football Outsiders defines a successful play as one of the following: gaining 50 percent of the yards you need on first down, 70 percent on second down, or 100 percent on third/fourth down.
- Passing downs are defined as second down with at least eight yards to go or third/fourth with at least five to go. All other situations are standard downs.
- Measuring line yards is a way of giving proper credit to the offensive line for a run (click here for a more detailed explanation).
- Stuff rate is the percentage of runs that the running back is tackled at or behind the line of scrimmage.
- Opportunity rate is the percentage of carries that gain at least five yards (i.e., the percentage of carries in which the line does its job).
- Highlight yards are the yards of a run that are credited solely to a running back, measuring how far they go once they reach the second level and open field.
