What Pass yds per att is
Yards per attempt: passing yards divided by pass attempts — how much the offense gained, on average, each time it threw. The quickest read of passing efficiency, with one blind spot: sacks are not attempts, so a quarterback who takes sacks rather than throwing the ball away is not 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.
Through Week 6 of 2026, the Bills lead at 8.45; the league average is 6.63.
