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 2024 the Browns led at 65.94; the league average was 61.53.
