[Final] 2021-2022 Offensive/Defensive Efficiency

These are the offensive and defensive efficiency values for each team in the 2021-2022 season. Touchdowns give +7, field goals are +3, and safeties are -2. All other drive results are scored as 0.
Drives that involved kneeling the ball at the end of the game/half are not included in these results.

_{This is purely data and not meant to describe relative strength of teams.}

I generally update this data on Sundays following game-day between 9a-2p. If I forget to do so, please feel free to send me a DM on Reddit at https://www.reddit.com/user/The-Gothic-Castle.

Glossary

cPPD = combined points per drive (Offensive points per drive – Defensive points per drive)
OPD = Offensive points per drive
DPD = Defensive points per drive
Rk = Rank

Updated 1/11/2022

The API I use to generate this data is missing several games worth of play-by-play and drive level information but that is being corrected as the season progresses. Sadly these metrics could be based on incomplete results.
