Eckert Stats: 2023 Regular-Season Explosive Vs. Adjusted Explosive Plays

Related Topics: George Pickens, Mason Rudolph

After my CATS metric deep dive, I wanted to zoom in on the explosive-play aspect of the 2023 regular season. Today we will be looking at explosive plays (20 yards or more), then what I call Adjusted Explosive Plays (AEP).

AEP is the total count of explosive plays, double explosives (40 yards or more) adding a multiplier of two, and triple explosive plays (60 yards or more) multiplying by three. For every play that ended in the end zone, I multiplied by six.

So, the longer the explosive the better, and the greatest emphasis on the ultimate goal of scoring points.
