No-Huddle Rate Leaders
No-Huddle Rate — 2021 NFL leaders, updated Oct 2, 2026. Arizona Cardinals led the league in no-huddle rate at 37.2%, ahead of 31 other qualifying teams. Based on verified nflverse play-by-play data, regular season only. Through the 2021 season.
No-huddle rate is the share of an offense's scrimmage snaps run without a huddle first, from the no-huddle flag in nflverse play-by-play — the same figure as the No-Huddle column on the team pace board. Rank 1 is the offense that huddles least, which is a tempo choice rather than a grade, and skipping the huddle is not the same as playing fast: a team can line up early and still let the play clock run. In season every figure here is season to date, and before Week 4 it rests on two or three games — a gap of a few points between neighbours is noise until the sample grows.
