What Pass long is

Longest completion of the season, in yards. It is one play, so treat it as colour — it tells you an offense has a deep shot in it, not how often it lands.

Higher is better. It is a season high — the best single game. Source: P + N.

In 2021 the Eagles led at 91; the league average was 69.
