What Pass Yds is

Passing yards: total yards gained on completed passes. The headline passing number, and a volume number — a team that throws fifty times a game will pile these up whether or not the throws were any good.

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

In 2019 the Buccaneers led at 302.8; the league average was 235.0.
