What Yds per play offense is
Yards per play: total yards divided by offensive plays. Efficiency rather than volume — it survives differences in tempo and in how often a team has the ball, which total yards do not.
Higher is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.
