2008 OFFENSIVE EFFICIENCY RATINGS

Regular season totals, playoffs not included

Revised as of 12/29/2008

This page lists DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) for total offense as well as rushing and passing offense separated. The DVOA system is explained here. All numbers below are adjusted based on strength of schedule.They are also adjusted to an average percentage of fumbles recovered by the offense. The exceptions are the final three columns, which are unadjusted total, passing, and rushing offense. Rushing includes all rushing, not just running backs.

WEIGHTED OFFENSE is adjusted so that earlier games in the season become gradually less important. It reflects how the team was playing by the end of the season. LAST YEAR represents 2007 rank.

VARIANCE measures the statistical variance of the team's weekly DVOA performance. Teams are ranked from most consistent to least consistent.
