What Pass adj yds per att is

Adjusted yards per attempt: passing yards, plus 20 yards for each touchdown and minus 45 for each interception, divided by attempts. It is yards per attempt with scoring and turnovers priced in, but without sacks — the net version adds those.

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