NFL Offseason - For more than two decades now, Football Outsiders has collected data from the NFL's weekly injury reports and transformed it into adjusted games lost. Adjusted games lost doesn't just add up total injuries. It accounts for both absent players and those playing at less than 100%, and it gives more weight to injuries to expected starters and situational players than to expected back-ups. As such, AGL estimates the impact of injuries on teams and provides a comparable total that often succinctly explains why teams improved or declined from one year to the next. Tom Brady deserves much of the credit, but the Bucs' rise from 5-11 and last place in the NFC South in 2018 to 11-5 and Super Bowl champions in 2020 followed a two-year ascension from 30th to first in AGL.
