Offensive: Rushing · Exp pts rush
What Exp pts rush is
Expected points added by the running game: for every rush, the change in expected points before and after the play, summed over the season. A three-yard run on third-and-two is worth something here; the same three yards on first-and-ten is worth less. It values what the running game did to the scoreboard, not how many yards it gained.
Higher is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.
