What is 3rd downs converted percentage in American football?
What is 3rd down conversion percentage formula?
The third down conversion percentage is the offensive effectiveness of the team.
It shows the success of converting third downs into first downs. The calculation formula is as follows:
3DCNP = 3DCN/3DATT, where
3DCN is a number of gained third down conversions
3DATT shows total attempts.
The poor 3DCNP means that the team must be careful on short drives. It’s a signal to stop the attempts as the defenders may cut the fourth down punt and get possession.
