What Total yards is

Total yards gained from scrimmage, passing and rushing together. Volume, not efficiency — teams that trail pile these up throwing against soft coverage.

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 Ravens led at 424.9; the league average was 337.4.
