PPG is important, but there needs to be an adjustment for any points directly caused by the offense. I know yesterday we had 3 points due the turnover at the 12 yard line. Defense did a great job limiting then to 3 points.
There are other important stats like Total yards, but I would argue Yards per play is very important as it represents an apple to apples comparison as sometimes huge disparity between number of snaps taken. Guess who is number 1 in YPP, as of now the Bengals in 2017.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
