What Fga (allowed) is

Field goals opponents attempted against this team. It counts how often opponent drives stalled in range instead of reaching the end zone — the bend-but-don't-break number.

Lower is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.

In 2023 the Dolphins led at 1.24; the league average was 1.95.
