Metrics tagged season are FTN's season-to-date splits. They can't be recut for a week range, so they show the full season, dimmed.

Each tick is a team. The logo is where this team sits, the dashed line is the league average, and better is always to the right, so a lower-is-better number runs backwards. Net is the offense against the defense on the same measure, ranked against all 32.

Pick a row for its week-by-week line and the full ranking.

Cells are tinted by rank among all 32: green for the top half, orange for the bottom half, deeper for the top and bottom eight. The number's own colour says whether it beats the league. On defense, lower EPA, success and explosive rates are better. DVOA from FTN.

Full season. Freq is the share of snaps in the grouping. EPA ranks are 1–32 on the team's efficiency in that grouping against the rest of the league; on defense it is what the grouping allowed, so lower is better. Cells tinted by rank are results. Freq, pass rate and play action rate are choices, so they stay plain. Play action rate's rank is usage order, highest first, not a judgment. On defense, play action rate is how often offenses used it against the grouping, and pressure rate is the pressure the defense got home, so higher is better there. On offense it is pressure allowed, so lower is better.

Two sources on one table, on purpose. Freq comes from Sumer Sports per-play charting; FTN's own usage rates understated heavy personnel badly enough to be unusable (it had SF at 0.2% 21 personnel in 2025, against Sumer's 36.3%, in a season its fullback played 629 snaps). Every other column is FTN, whose per-grouping splits are internally consistent and weren't shown to share that bug. Freq won't sum to 100%: the remainder is the rarer packages (10, 02, 23...) that neither source breaks out here. Sumer charting starts in 2022; earlier seasons fall back to FTN's usage rates.

Team B

Pick two teams and press Compare.

The logo of whichever side ranks higher sits out from the middle toward that side, farther for a bigger gap in ranks. Within four spots it is even, shown as a grey dot. The numbers are green when they beat the league average for that side and orange when they don't. Full detail adds the situation rows from the Splits tab: the offense's EPA per play in that spot against what the defense allowed in it, full season.
