NFL Team Ranking and Division Statistics

   In my previous posts on “The Myth about the NFL Total Offense and Total Defense” parts 1 – 13, I discussed the NFL’s one statistic method which uses only the total yards gained and yards allowed statistics. While this is easy to follow and understand it does not give you a very clear picture of how your offense or defense is actually playing. There needs to be a better method which is why I created the Pro Football Ranking.com True Total Offense and Defense ranking method. I discussed the fifteen different statistics used in this method and explained why I thought they are important for any all inclusive method of ranking.

   You might think that one statistic is easy to follow each week but fifteen different statistics would be hard and confusing to follow every week for all thirty two NFL teams. In this post I intend to show you how easy it actually is, I have done all the work for you. One quick look at our ranking chart is all you need to do.Please click on the link below to see the actual ranking chart for the end of the 2014 regular season.
  



   In the chart above the Offense is on the left and the Defense is on the right. The teams are listed according to how they rank form best to worst. The score is the Pro Football Ranking.com offense and defense score derived from the fifteen statistics used in our method. The NFL Yards only ranking is shown in the box. How simple is that! Just go to our NFL Offense and Defense Ranking page to see where your team ranks each week during the regular season.

   You can easily find out what these numbers mean and how we determined them by going to the Division Statistic page. This page also has a glossary of the abbreviations used and a description of what they mean. If you are an avid NFL fan you will want to come here every week. Just click on the division button of your choice and the fifteen offense and defense statistics used in our ranking method for each team in that NFL division are displayed.

   Included on the Division pages are the fifteen statistical categories, the average or season total and NFL rank for each statistic. Ranking number 1 is better then ranking 32nd. The score, the sum of the ranking for each statistic, is used on the ranking chart. The lower score is the better score.Please click on the link below to see the actual season ending 2014 Division chart for the AFC West.



    The chart above is the 2014 regular season final for the AFC West. You will also find some extra information on this chart. The average per game rushing and passing attempts and rank for each are shown just for more information only. Denver, for example, Rushed the ball 27.7 times a game or 42.2% of the time with a rushing attempts rank of 12th (12th most rushes per game) in the NFL.


   Once you are familiar with the PFR.com ranking method I hope you will agree that it is far superior to the NFL’s Traditional method of using only the yards statistic for ranking Total Offense and Total Defense. Where else can you get all this information so quickly and in a format that is easy to understand and follow each and every week of the NFL regular season?

In my next post I will discuss another ranking method found only on Pro Football Ranking.com.
