Introduction

Two first-place NFC teams meet Sunday, with the Lions (4-1) looking for a fourth straight win and the Bucs (3-1) trying to take four of five to begin a season for just the sixth time in franchise history.

The Bucs have been a surprise package in the NFC South, winning some crucial games to lead a division that figures to be tight yet again in 2023. Meanwhile, the Lions are benefiting from a weak set of opponents in the NFC North, with the Packers, Bears and Vikings all posting losing records so far.

Weighted stats ranking unit vs unit

Weighted rankings are a way of measuring a team's 'true' performance, taking into account the relative strength of each opponent. For example, a team throwing for 300 yards against a team that gives up 250 yards on average, would have a weighted performance of +50 yards. Conversely, if the opponent ordinarily allows 350 yards against other opponents, then the team would have a weighted performance of -50 yards.

This chart shows not only the weighted performance in key areas of the game, but also the weighted performance of the corresponding unit of their opponent, eg: Run Offense vs Run Defense.
