How these are picked: each stat is compared with every team that has it this season and at least 3 games played (and, for a percentage of tries like 4th downs, at least 10 tries). The team's z-score is its distance from those teams' mean in standard deviations (population SD). A stat is listed at 1.0 SD or more, the largest first, up to 10: Notable from 1.0, Outlier from 1.5, Extreme from 2. Ties share a rank. Only stats counted in the box score, and ratios worked out from them - no other source's model numbers, such as EPA. From every game played, postseason included, not adjusted for the opponents faced.
