SEASON NOTES
Liberty's ground game looks better on paper, but one afternoon is doing a lot of the work. Liberty averaged 5.1 yards per carry (1,210 yards on 237 rushes) on the season, #48 in section, but that number is boosted by a 284-yard game on 25 rushes against Las Vegas on 9/25. In all other games, Liberty is at 4.4 yards per carry (926 yards on 212 rushes), a figure that would rank #59 in section. Context matters here: Las Vegas' run defense ranks among the weakest in section (7.6 yards per carry, #61 of 74), so that game says more about the opponent than about the unit itself.
The biggest shift in Liberty's season has come in its defense. The Patriots forced 1.5 takeaways per game over their first 4 games (2-2), #29 in section in that timeframe. In the 6 games since that slow start (5-1), Liberty has forced 3.2 takeaways per game, a 111% rise, #1 in section in that window. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Liberty's last 6 opponents have averaged 1.4 per game, a #40 offense in section on the season, against 1.6 per game, #53 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.4 per game), Liberty forced 131% more turnovers than those offenses usually give up. On the season, the Patriots rank #2 in section in takeaways.
Liberty allowed 10.3 points per game over its first 7 games (5-2), #2 in section during that time. Few teams started faster in this department, and few have cooled off as sharply since. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (2-1), the Patriots have allowed 18.0 points per game, a 75% rise, #25 in section through those games. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Liberty's last 3 opponents have averaged 31.3 points per game, a #23 offense in section on the season, against 27.2 points per game, #29 for the first 7. Measured against those opponents' norms (31.3 points per game), Liberty held those offenses 42% below what they usually score. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. Overall, those opponents have been strong teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank #9 in section. On the season, Liberty ranks #6 in section in scoring defense.
Liberty's offense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. The Patriots averaged 36.6 points per game over their first 7 games (5-2), #12 in section through that stretch. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (2-1), Liberty has averaged 26.0 points per game, a 29% drop, #36 in section over that stretch. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 22.8 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (23.2 points per game), Liberty scored 12% more than those defenses usually allow. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. Overall, those opponents have been strong teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank #9 in section. On the season, the Patriots rank #20 in section in scoring.
Something changed for Liberty's passing game after its first 5 games. Liberty averaged 10.9 yards per pass attempt (1,174 yards on 108 attempts) over its first 5 games (3-2), #7 in section within that period. In the 5 games since that hot start (4-1), the Patriots have averaged 9.1 yards per pass attempt (1,101 yards on 121 attempts), a 16% drop, #21 in section across those games. The schedule doesn't excuse it: the last 5 opponents have been softer, averaging 8.2 yards per attempt, a #47 pass defense in section on the season, against 7.5 yards per attempt, #28 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (8.2 yards per attempt), Liberty threw for 10% more per attempt than those pass defenses usually allow. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. Overall, those opponents have been strong teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank #17 in section. On the season, Liberty ranks #15 in section in passing.

PPG/OPP PPG use every played game on file. YPG/PLAYS-PER-GAME columns only ever come from games with a full box score on file, which can be a smaller sample than GP -- see the coverage note below when that's the case for this team.
Averages use only games with that number on file (defense 7/10, sacks/INT 5/10, sacks allowed 3/10 games). SACKS ALW comes from the opponent's box score; TO FORCED is takeaways; TO MAR is takeaways minus giveaways, and its bottom cell is the season total. Dashes mean not on file.
