Rank. If there's a "1", that means that it's the team that did the run/pass combo the most in the league.What do the numbers mean?
That chart is a terrible display of good information IMNSHO. Pretty eye candy, but pretty useless for communicating meaning. I had to work to dig any insight out of it and that was hard and not very effective. Whoever constructed it should be required to read and understand Edward Tufte’s The Visual Display of Quantitative Information before ever being allowed to construct another graph.What do the numbers mean?

guess that means their runs on 1st and 2nd down were sufficient to make it 3rd and short.who knew the pats were the 3rd most likely team to go run-run-run?
That is influenced by success, or failure in doing it.who knew the pats were the 3rd most likely team to go run-run-run?
But not sufficient to make it first and 10.guess that means their runs on 1st and 2nd down were sufficient to make it 3rd and short.
Yes. Lots of information, not much meaning.That is influenced by success, or failure in doing it.
If you run for -2 on first you probably aren’t running on second. If you run for 9 you probably are.
If you run for 12 you don’t make the chart because there was no 2nd or 3rd.
Yeah, this chart seems useless.
I would assume that the chart does not cover the cases where 3rd down was not necessary.But not sufficient to make it first and 10.
It was literally made by a Kangaroo.That chart is a terrible display of good information IMNSHO. Pretty eye candy, but pretty useless for communicating meaning.

I think a better design would have eschewed the stacked bar graph and instead used three bar graphs per team, one for each down, showing run/pass percentage on each. It would have communicated so much better that it would offset losing the nuances of multiple down tendencies, which did not communicate well enough to be useful anyway. IMO.

Yes but it's only about 10% of the time. The thing I take from the chart is how Pats don't lead in any one category which makes their play calling unpredictable.who knew the pats were the 3rd most likely team to go run-run-run?
