What Pass Att is

Pass attempts: the number of times the team threw the ball. Volume, not quality — it reflects game script as much as identity, because teams that fall behind throw more. Read it next to the efficiency stats, not instead of them.

Higher is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.

In 2025 the Cardinals led at 38.35; the league average was 32.23.
