How these are counted
EPA and success come from the nflfastR model. Sacked or hit rate counts dropbacks that ended in a sack or a recorded QB hit; it is not pressure rate, which needs charting the public feed does not carry in season. Blitz and man or zone rates are left out for the same reason.
Explosive plays are completions of 20 or more yards and runs of 10 or more.
Play-by-play from nflverse (nflfastR), CC BY 4.0. Snap counts from Sleeper.
