According to ESPN, only 3 teams are more efficient than Seattle on offense.
Punt, touchdown, punt, fumble, touchdown, missed field goal, touchdown, punt, touchdown, downs, end of game.Excluding the end of game possession in Week 3, the Chargers had a scoring opportunity on 16 of their 31 possessions .
Now, before anyone bemoans the fact that Seattle’s percentage of scoring opportunities is better than both of the California teams above them in the rankings, allow me to point out that ESPN’suses a proprietary algorithm to calculate offensive efficiency and it’s a whole lot more complicated than the simple math I used in my calculations.
To elaborate on that, ESPN’s efficiency ratings use a 100-point scale “based on offense’s contribution to scoring margin on per-play basis, adjusted for strength of opposing defenses faced.” ESPN’s efficiency score for Miami’s offense is 93.4; for the 49ers, it’s 81.6; for the Chargers, it’s 72.0; and for Seattle, it’s 67.7.
