2013 Team NY/A and ANY/A Differential Data

by Chase Stuart on December 30, 2013

Just a quick data dump here for those inquiring minds. Here are the leaders in NY/A differential, which is simply Net Yards per Attempt (which incorporates sack data) for each team minus the Net Yards per Attempt allowed by that team. Seattle ranks #1 in NY/A differential, as Russell Wilson‘s offense has averaged 6.97 NY/A (which ranks 6th) and the defense has allowed just 4.85 NY/A (which ranks first), giving them a +2.13 NY/A differential.

Fire up that Andy Dalton bandwagon.

What if we use Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt (defined as (Passing Yards +20*Passing TDs – Sack Yards Lost – 45*INT) / (Pass Attempts + Sacks))? The Seahawks rank 1st by an even more absurd margin, while the Broncos move to #2 thanks to Peyton Manning‘s fantastic ANY/A numbers. Of course, these tables include the entire 2013 season for the Eagles, and not just the numbers produced by Nick Foles.

As for that insane Seattle pass defense? More on them later. Also of note: Quite an impressive turnaround season for Philip Rivers. San Diego is in the playoffs despite ranking in the bottom 3 in both NY/A and ANY/A allowed.
