Chart: Excel
Notes:
– CIN stands out for having a PD that is better than 10 teams with a better record than them, including a better PD than one 2-win team (HOU).
– KC is 3-0 but has a worse PF than 5 teams with a worse recording, including 1-win AZ.
– HOU at 2-1 has a worse PD than the majority of 1-win teams
Just a few interesting nuggets.
I hope looking at it in this format makes it easy to compare PD across teams with the same number of wins, as well as across win totals.
Ah yes, my mighty Bengals. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. All of their losses were one possession games, two of which could have been won if it weren’t for penalties or dumb mistakes.
this chart seems to suggest that outscoring your opponent is correlated with winning
