Advantage: LAC defense

	PIT off	LAC def	Edge
Points / game	15.5 #25	6.5 #1	LAC
Yards / play	4.20 #28	4.33 #3	LAC
EPA / play	−0.11 #23	−0.40 #1	LAC
Success rate	35% #29	29% #1	LAC

Bars show league standing (dashed mark = league middle); Offense and Defense use the average rank across the four stats below. In the tables, a highlighted value and the Edge column mark the side ranked better by at least 15% of the league; defense values are what that team allows. Yards and turnovers from ESPN box scores; EPA from nflverse play-by-play. Descriptive only: the model already uses these.
