Week 2 of the 2014 NFL season is now in the books and here is your weekly TOX stat update.
After an 11-0 start in Week 1, teams with a plus two or better TOX stat in Week 2 went 9-2 (81.8%). The Denver Broncos and St. Louis Rams are the two teams to buck the stat this week.
Year to date, teams with a plus two or better TOX stat are 20-2 (90.9%).
As for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2, they were minus seven in their Thursday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens. For the season, they are also minus seven and have also already given up four runs of 20 yards or more in the process.
I’d like to remind you that we are tracking penalty plays this season that result in a gain of 20 or more yards as well. If you need a refresher on the TOX stat, it’s a differential of combined explosive plays and turnovers in a single game. Teams with a plus two TOX stat in any given game are expected to win 80% of the time.
If this stat is not your cup of tea, feel free to just skip over it every week. If you find any mistakes, please let me know in the comments.
