What Pass cmp perc (Off − Def) is

Completion percentage minus completion percentage allowed. Accuracy both ways, with the usual checkdown caveat on each side.

Higher is better. It is a rate, so a team's number does not grow with games played. Source: P + N.

In 2022 the Bengals led at 9.32; the league average was -0.10.
