What Score pct is

Scoring rate: drives that ended in points (touchdown or field goal) divided by all drives, as a percentage. It measures how reliably the offense turned a possession into a result.

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

In 2024 the Lions led at 51.65; the league average was 38.99.
