Offense Success Rate (OSR) measures the how effective a team is at gaining yardage on downs, enough to be “successful.” A team is successful on a down of they do the following:
Gain 50% of yards on first down (ex: six yards on first and 10)
Gain 70% of yards on second down
Gain 100% of downs on third and fourth down
The above numbers are derived from Football Outsiders and the difference between downs is based on lots of research. OSR allows for a more granular look at teams, not just how they do on third down or any specific situation but a blanket measurement that takes into account how a team performs on all downs. Like any stat, it is not perfect but offers a great snapshot.
