Daily Slop - 16 Nov 23: Commanders are the ‘the pass-happiest team this century ‘

No NFL team attempts more passes than the Washington Commanders.

Not only in 2023, a statistical nugget fans are likely aware of by now. The claim holds for a longer duration. Two seasons? Five? Ten? Think grander, as in the entire 21st century.

Under the direction of offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, and signed off by head coach Ron Rivera, the Commanders have dropped back to pass on 68.7 percent of their offensive plays through 10 games. If sustained, that would match the single-season record in TruMedia’s database, which offers data dating to 2000, set by the 2013 Atlanta Falcons.
