Stat Analysis

Brian Daboll, QB whisperer? Geno Smith, Comeback Player of the Year? Every year, a handful of teams outshine their DVOA projections. Here are 2022's brightest examples.

The Rams (OL) and Broncos (WR) set all-time records for AGL by position group, helping doom their 2022 seasons.

Injuries were a big part of the problem for the Broncos last year, as demonstrated by our 2022 adjusted games lost numbers.

With only 15 running backs running the 40 at this year's combine, superlatives are somewhat low. Just two backs topped the 110 barrier, led by the surprising Deneric Prince from Tulsa.

Nick Sirianni was the most aggressive coach in the league on fourth downs in 2022. Find out who else impressed the Aggressiveness Index.

No matter how you measure it, the Eagles defense is getting a historic number of sacks this year, and the Bears offense is taking a historic number themselves.

What would our QBASE projection system have said about 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy if he was drafted high enough to qualify?
