What FG % is

Field-goal percentage: field goals made divided by field goals attempted. Compare it against where the attempts came from before reading much into it — a kicker tried only from short range should be near perfect.

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

In 2021 the Rams led at 15.67; the league average was 12.50.
