Pass Rate Over Expected Leaders
Pass Rate Over Expected — 2024 NFL leaders, updated Sep 29, 2026. Cincinnati Bengals led the league in pass rate over expected at +8.9, ahead of 31 other qualifying teams. Based on verified 2024 play-by-play data (nflverse); Half-PPR scoring. Through the 2024 season.
Every game state has an expected pass rate: down, distance, score and clock together say how often a league-average offense would throw. Pass rate over expected measures how far a team drifts from that. It is the stickiest team-level tendency measured — coordinators keep their identity year over year — which makes it one of the few 2026 numbers that says something real about 2027 volume. The neutral-script column beside it is the plain answer to the plain question: with the game close and the clock not yet an argument, how often did this offense throw? A team can lead the league in the first column and sit mid-pack in the second, and that combination describes an offense that throws in the spots nobody expects rather than one that throws constantly.
