It’s never too early to start preparing for next season, and for PFF, that means looking at ways to improve PFF Premium Stats.

This week, we're introducing a metric we're calling “obvious passing situation (OPS) win rate,” which we will use to focus on pass-rushers and evaluate who excels on high-leverage downs.
