This shows a yardage EFFICIENCY against the league average, based on offense, defense, and red zone. The last five digits -with or without comment - show the ranking in the last five weeks. This could be interesting, because it shows how teams respond to a good or bad performance. Do they level off for a week, do they pogo up and down, etc?

Experimental. I don't read much into it, but am keeping records for the season to see if patterns emerge. Numbers are beginning to stabilize, so big jumps and drops could be somewhat more significant than in first weeks.

Good use of punctuation, DH.

Colts are the surprise -- otherwise the top of the board is a who's who of the elite.
