New at @FTNFantasy from @LoechnerNFL Are the Colts for real? They look great, but stats suggest Daniel Jones is succeeding more because of structure than because of superlative play. https://t.co/eNBuESch4Z

Week 7 NFL Preview: Steelers-Bengals, Eagles-Vikings, and More

For FTN subscribers, here's a look at the playoff odds leverage in all 15 games of Week 7, there's a big table in here but the Falcons-49ers game is the most important so far this season. https://t.co/JHXnGvTKBL

Here are some picks for Week 7 as part of @FTNFantasy content on Yahoo Sports. https://t.co/oJamHKE3hP

New at @FTNFantasy from @BryKno: Brian Callahan was the worst coach in Titans/Oilers history by DVOA and his firing is not a surprise. https://t.co/smXHHf7WWC

The Broncos currently have a sack rate of 13.7%. (That's actual sack rate, not my adjusted sack rate numbers.) Highest sack rates since 1978 over a full season: 1984 Bears 14.2% 1978 Lions 13.6% 1989 Vikings 12.7% cc: @ngreenberg

New DVOA commentary: Seattle Seahawks back at No. 1, with top five rankings in all three phases. Plus, the very unbalanced Patriots offense and Jets defense. https://t.co/aviCkHeJSS

Foye Oluokun leads the NFL in both Defeats (16) and Pass Tackle Stops, i.e. tackles after unsuccessful receptions (13). You can download all my individual defense stats from this page:

DVOA playoff odds now updated, with the Kansas City Chiefs as our new AFC favorites. Also, the Special Super Bowls list now includes several Colts-related matchups. https://t.co/zjO6nkUG3T

As a Pats fan who got to enjoy it for 18 years, I hope the Chiefs fans are enjoying what it means to be the best franchise in the league for years. It's fun!

More fun with the #Patriots. Here are the teams since 1978 with a top 3 passing game but a bottom 3 running game through the first 6 games of the season. The 2003 Titans were the only team to do this for a full season: 1st passing, 31st rushing. Steve McNair was co-MVP.

The New Orleans Saints currently have -13.5% special teams DVOA, which is the lowest after six games since Washington in 2013 (-19.4%). The lowest ever after six games was the 2010 Chargers at -23.4%.

So, a thought on this. I don't know if it works to era-adjust for sacks because sack rates haven't followed a clear trend over time the way INT rates have dropped and C% has improved. The rates kind of ebb and flow back and forth over the years.
