What Pass cmp perc is

Completion percentage: completions divided by attempts. The familiar accuracy number, with a familiar flaw — a two-yard checkdown counts exactly the same as a forty-yard completion, so a conservative offense can post a high number without moving the ball.

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

In 2025 the Patriots led at 71.77; the league average was 64.00.
