3 and Out Percentages 2012

Three-and-out Percentage is a measure of the rate at which a teams drives end as three-and-outs, which is calculated by taking a teams total three-and-outs and dividing it by the total drives of the team.

A drive is a series of plays by a team that only ends when a team turns over the ball, scores or the game ends while a three-and-out is a drive that end after a team is unable to gain a first down in the first three plays of a drive.

The lower the Third-and-out Percentage as it suggests that a team has a low rate of turning over the ball quickly to the opposition.

Lots of ways to try to interpret it..........none of them good.
It's also interesting to see how we fared in 2011 and 2010.
