Is there a way to see how many screen passes have been thrown by each team this year? (alien.top)

I feel like many teams’ fans complain their playcallers are calling way too many screen passes. So I was wondering who has the right to complain the most.

This is awesome. I wonder how different the rates would look based on n_passingplays.

Is this actually accurate? The Bears ran 13-15 (varying reports) on Monday night alone. I find it hard to believe they only ran 25 more throughout the other 11 weeks of football.

Thank you!

It's so interesting that everyone feels really strongly that the Bears would be at the top of the list. As a Jags fan, did you imagine the Jags being at the top of the list?
