Passing first downs percentage

“Passing first down percentage” is not a standard or generally used statistic in American football. It is a phrase not widely used in the sport. However, I can supply some information on football-related statistics and ideas that are more widely used:

Third-Down Conversion Percentage: This metric assesses a team’s ability to convert third-down situations into first downs. It is reported as a percentage and is a crucial metric for determining a team’s offensive effectiveness. A high third-down conversion rate implies that a team can sustain drives by earning the required yardage to move the chains and keep control of the football.

Passing Completion proportion: This statistic counts the proportion of pass attempts a quarterback completes to a receiver. It is derived by dividing the total number of pass attempts by the number of completed passes. A greater completion percentage shows passing accuracy.

First-down proportion: This statistic denotes the proportion of total plays resulting in a team’s first down. It measures how well a team pushes the ball down the field and extends their attacking possessions.

Passing Efficiency Rating (PER or Passer Rating): This is a comprehensive statistic that assesses a quarterback’s entire performance by factoring in completion %, passing yards, touchdowns, and interceptions. It assigns a numerical value to a quarterback’s effectiveness.

Please offer additional specifics if you have a specific context or a different statistic in mind, and I’d be pleased to assist further.
