The 10 Most Impactful Plays of Week 9

The San Diego Chargers' defense provided no shortage of entertainment last week.

I’m not much of a television watcher.

I have nothing against it; I just haven’t owned a TV that had cable since I moved out of my parents’ house about seven years ago. Without real channel choice, watching TV is a decision between the shopping channel, Jeopardy! re-runs, and the Antiques Roadshow wooden duck carving marathon special. There’s just not a ton of excitement there.

If you feel a yawn coming on just from me talking about those shows, have faith: there is a boatload of excitement every week in the National Football League, and we pinpoint the high-adrenaline marks in this column. We make sure you know not just which plays were the most exciting, but how compelling they were by the data, to boot.

Rub those tired eyes and get a cup of coffee to wake you up: what were the most impactful plays of Week 9 by numberFire’s Net Expected Points (NEP) analytic?
