Credit Andy for having us seventh in passing play percentage helping there. If you don't like that we are seventh in yards per game.
The biggest difference is red zone and turnovers. Last year second RZ at 71 percent. This year 15th at 55. 1.9 turnovers per game, 30th, sheesh we're giving away two drives to TOs!

The metric I always look at is Points Per Play which is scoring efficiency. Because to me the #1 job of the offense is to score.
In both years we won the SB we were #1 in the NFL.
Last year's SB was a matchup of the #1 and #2 teams in the NFL in points per play in the Chiefs and Eagles.
This year we are 15th.
That is a terrifying drop off for the offense.
