2015 NFL Week 15 Stats: Adjusted Net Yards Per Passing Attempt Differential

Posted on

Who’s the best team in the NFL with two weeks remaining in the regular season? Well, according to the updated adjusted net yards per passing attempt differential stats, it’s no longer the Arizona Cardinals.

After being tops in the league in the differential stat for most of the season, the Cardinals have now been overtaken by the Carolina Panthers and Cincinnati Bengals. Differential stat aside, I think you could make a strong argument that the Panthers and Cardinals are the top two teams with the Bengals close behind. Also, it’s worth noting that the Bengals played the lowly San Francisco 49ers this past week and they are surely to be tested in Week 16 by the Denver Broncos, who currently own the second-best defensive ANY/A stat in the league. Needless to say, Bengals quarterback A.J. McCarron will certainly be tested Monday night.

 

All five of the top five teams listed below have secured playoff spots and the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs can join those teams this week with wins and a loss by the New York Jets, who will play the New England Patriots on Sunday.

The Steelers differential stat took a small hit in Week 15 thanks to their defense allowing Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler to have a great first half against them. The Steelers, however, will close out their 2015 regular season with road games against the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns, so I fully expect their differential will start moving back in the right direction to close out the year. A loss to either of those two teams could spell doom for the Steelers playoff chances.
