yards/attempt or yards/play is a much better metric than total yards
passing yds/attempt: 23rd at 7.6
passing %/game: 1st at 57.5 (although they are worst at 20+ and 40+ plays)
passer rating against: 16th at 90.4
rushing yds/attempt: t7th at 3.9
total defense yds/play: t11th at 5.4
3rd down percentage: t8th at 37%
sacks: 2nd at 42
defensive TDs: t1st with 4
points per game differential: 4th at 7.5 ppg
