What Pass Cmp is

Completions: passes that were caught by the intended receiver. On its own it mostly tracks how often a team throws; completion percentage and yards per completion say what the completions were worth.

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