What NY/A is

Net yards per attempt: passing yards minus sack yards lost, divided by pass attempts plus sacks. It is yards per attempt with the cost of sacks priced in, which makes it a truer read of passing efficiency — a quarterback who takes sacks instead of throwing the ball away gets charged for them here.

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