What Plays offense is

Offensive plays run. A high count usually means long drives or a fast tempo; a low one, a slow offense or short possessions. Pace, not quality.

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

In 2018 the Ravens led at 69.75; the league average was 62.27.
