Last week, the Chiefs offense produced the highest success rate of any team in a game this season.

Tonight was a 94th percentile offensive game based on EPA per drive.

They appear to have figured things out and are now getting Rashee Rice back.

Through 6 weeks, Drake Maye leads all quarterbacks in dropback success rate.

Maye is producing a positive result on 54.6% of his pass plays. If he maintains that rate, it would be higher than quarterback in the NFL last season.

There have been four examples this season of a defense holding its opponent to fewer than 10 first downs in a game.

The Broncos have done it three times. The rest of the NFL has done it once.

The Jets had 82 total yards of offense today.

That's the lowest total for any team in a single game over the past two seasons.

The Panthers offense today produced the second-highest success rate of any team in a single game this season.

The Panthers are now 4th in offensive success rate on the season. The only teams that have been better are the Colts, Bills, and Commanders.

I asked someone in a front office this week: what is the probability Nick Herbig is currently the best pass rusher on the Steelers?

Said their answer on this fun show with @sheilkapadia.bsky.social!

In the second half of the last three games, the Eagles offense has had 19 possessions. They have gone three-and-out on a league-high 58% of them.

13 punts
2 turnovers
2 TDs
2 end of game

Lack of adjustments vs. opposing staffs have been a disaster.

Eagles offense has nothing to hang its hat on. Below league average in:

* EPA per drive
* Success rate
* Explosive play rate
* RB rushing success rate

And that's with 10 of 11 starters healthy on an expensive, veteran unit.

Through six weeks, the Eagles are -1 in point differential.

They have been out-gained in every single game this season.

Statistically (EPA per drive), that's the worst defensive performance by the Eagles since Vic Fangio became their defensive coordinator.

10 possessions: gave up 5 TDs and did not force a turnover.

That decision to bunt Stott is as furious as I've been about any Topper managerial decision during this four-year run.

You're not playing for one run there. You're losing! It's the year 2025 - you cannot bunt in that spot. Managerial malpractice.

This feels like an all-time CBC meter game.

C’mon. One mistake. One swing. Can’t waste this masterful start from Luzardo (I know, Snell is dealing).

The Jets offense had 19 plays of 10+ yards today -- the most of any team in Week 5.

No other team this season that produced that many plays of 10+ yards in a game lost.
