Passer Rating Differential is one of our newest Quality Stats, introduced in 2009, but might be "the most important stat in football," as we called it on Sports Illustrated. Read about its introduction here. We've also written about its historic importance here and in other places. Teams that dominate PRD dominate on the field.)

 

Passer Rating Differential is obtained by subtracting a team's Defensive Passer Rating from its Offensive Passer Rating. It is a Quality Stat because it has a direct correlation to victory. Teams with a high Passer Rating Differential are successful. Teams with a low Passer Rating Differential are not successful.
