What Yds per play offense (allowed) is

Yards per play allowed: total yards allowed divided by plays faced. Efficiency rather than volume — it survives differences in tempo and in how often the defense was on the field.

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

Through Week 6 of 2026, the Seahawks lead at 0.84; the league average is 1.10.
