Our advanced box score tool goes beyond the traditional box score, showing which team actually played better in every game each week of the NFL season.
Compare success rate, EPA per play, dropback EP, rush EPA, explosive plays, pressure rate, and turnover EPA for every NFL game this season.
Further down, you can compare traditional stats alongside an expanded look at the most important advanced metrics.
What is Success Rate?
Success Rate measures whether a play accomplishes the desired goal based on down and distance.
For offense, a successful play:
- Gains at least 45% of the required yards on first down
- Gains at least 60% of the required yards on second down
- Gains at least 100% of the required yards on third or fourth down
For defense, we look at whether they allowed a successful play.
The lower the success rate allowed, the better.
What is Expected Points Added (EPA)?
Expected Points Added (EPA) measures how much a play changed the team's expected score.
It is measured by taking a team's expected points before a play, based on down, distance, and field position, and comparing that to the expected points after the play.
A 4-yard run on third and 2 earns a first down, increasing the likelihood of a score on that possession.
A 4-yard run on third and 6 brings up fourth down, decreasing the likelihood of a score on that possession.
