This means that there is stronger, but still not convincing, statistical evidence that gaining more rush yards per game leads to winning more NFL games.īest of 2018: Seattle Seahawks (160.0 YPG, 10 wins) The correlation coefficient for the association between offensive pass yards per game and wins for the 2018 NFL season was. The following graph shows each NFL team’s 2018 regular season win total in comparison to their offensive rush yards per game.Īccording to the regression line of this graph, an increase of 22 pass yards per game last season would’ve led to two more wins, on average, for any given team.Ĭorrelation coefficient: r =.
Worst of 2018: Arizona Cardinals (157.7 YPG, 3 wins) Rushing Offense This means that there is some, but not strong, statistical evidence that gaining more pass yards per game leads to winning more NFL games.īest of 2018: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (320.3 YPG, 5 wins)
The following graph shows each NFL team’s 2018 regular season win total in comparison to their offensive pass yards per game.Īccording to the regression line of this graph, an increase of 85 pass yards per game last season would’ve led to two more wins, on average, for any given team.Ĭorrelation coefficient: r =. Finally, the correlation coefficient will provide even more context as to which aspect is proven to lead to the most success. The regression line will then provide more context as to how many wins specifically each aspect’s success leads to. The graphs will highlight the association between each statistic and what success it led to in the 2018 season. Thus, we will be able to make a claim, backed by statistical evidence, as to which area of the game is most important to winning.įrom linear regression analysis, each aspect will be accompanied by a graph, regression line, and correlation coefficient.
Through linear regression, we will be able to determine which aspect’s success leads to the most wins. We will determine this by comparing each NFL team’s 2018 regular season win total with the following four aspects of the game: offensive pass yards per game, offensive rush yards per game, defensive pass yards allowed per game, and defensive rush yards allowed per game. The goal of this article is to identify which aspect, if any, of the game appears to be most crucial to winning in football. This article will take a look at some statistics from last year’s season to draw some conclusions about what to expect this coming year. As the 2019 NFL season approaches, fans, analysts, coaches, and players alike, are all preparing and getting excited for the season ahead.
