What Rush Y/A (Off − Def) is

Yards per carry minus yards per carry allowed. Running efficiency both ways — and noisy on both halves, because long runs move it.

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

Through Week 6 of 2026, the Chiefs lead at 1.93; the league average is -0.02.
