What happened: PFF ranked the Los Angeles Rams first last season at 0.16 EPA/play, ahead of the New England Patriots at 0.14 and Buffalo Bills at 0.13. The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions tied at 0.11.

Why it matters: EPA/play measures efficiency across every snap, making a season-long league lead more persuasive than preseason reputation. Los Angeles held a 0.03 advantage over Buffalo and a 0.05 edge over Green Bay and Detroit, enough to keep the Rams at No. 1 until 2026 results say otherwise.
