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.

Through Week 6 of 2026, the Bears lead at 72; the league average is 61.38.
