WEEK 8 · SUN NOV 1FINAL

Shaded = the better side of each row. Rows with no clear “better” (plays, drives, attempts, penalties, possession) aren’t shaded. Efficiency, What it cost them and Early vs late downs use the nflfastR/rbsdm play filter, so a team’s EPA/play here can differ from its season figure on the team pages; Team stats follows the official box-score conventions instead.

Why the play counts differ. Efficiency counts every run and dropback the way nflfastR and rbsdm.com do, including sacks, scrambles, plays wiped out by penalties and 2-point tries, so CLE has 69 plays there and 64 in the official total above.

CLEWhat it cost themPIT

A strip-sack counts in both the sack row and the turnover row.

Player lines won’t always add up to team totals. TGT% is a share of the team targets above — the throws charged to a receiver — not of the pass attempts in Team stats, so the two counts can differ. Yards gained after a lateral belong to no receiver, and runs by receivers and kneel-downs don’t appear in the rushing table.
