Offensive: Passing · Pass int perc
What Pass int perc is
Interception rate: interceptions thrown divided by pass attempts, as a percentage. The rate version of interceptions, so a team that throws a lot is not punished simply for volume.
Lower is better. It is a rate, so a team's number does not grow with games played. Source: P + N.
In 2020 the Packers led at 0.95; the league average was 2.19.
