TRENDS · 2020–2026

Twelve phases, season by season.

Each line is a league rank, not a raw number — league-wide EPA/play drifts between seasons, so 4th in 2020 and 4th today mean the same thing while +0.08 does not.

HEADLINE

Overall EPA differential

Offensive EPA/play minus defensive EPA/play allowed — the one number that carries a whole season.

Rank of 32 · EPA/play below each point
