What Pass yds per cmp (Off − Def) is

Yards per completion minus yards per completion allowed — how far downfield each side's completions came.

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

In 2018 the Chiefs led at 2.10; the league average was -0.03.
