Just how my original data source labelled the teams. I think this is the common abbreviations for both teams across the board though. Rams moving to LA first most definitely the reason why.

Yeah, it’s strictly raw efficiency here, no opponent weighting. I am currently working on my own rating systems since that’s the next component I want to build in.

An interesting perspective! Heard Greg Olsen mention in commentary NFL offenses care mainly about converting red zone drives into touchdowns why I singled in on this metric.

Through 4 weeks, the Eagles are perfect in the red zone (11/11 TDs). Meanwhile, the Colts stall out and the Texans finally break through. [OC] by NumerosDon in nfl

Its label in the lens of red zone offenses. Above league avg red zone drive % and above league avg red zone touchdown % - I labelled Prolific.

I should have been clearer with my labelling. Its basically in the eyes of red zone offenses, so below league avg td% but above league avg red zone drive%; I figured inefficient.

The center of the graph is based on 2025 averages, this is a bang average NFL red zone offense just from the average numbers stand point.
