As many of you know, I am a big fan of the ANY/A (adjusted net yards per passing attempt) differential stats and I like to use them as my own personal power rankings.
In case this stat is new to you, here is a post from 2011 that better explains it and here are the final results from the 2015 season.
I will be posting these stats for the first three weeks of the 2016 season without any analysis included as a good picture really won’t start to be painted until four or five games are in the books. Last year’s top 5 ANY/A differential leaders after Week 1 of the season were: TEN, BUF, STL, GB and CIN, respectively.
It should be obvious, however, that the higher the differential a team has, the better they are.
If you have some time, you might also like to revisit this old post below as well.
