First Downs records the total number of times a player’s action results in a new set of downs. This NFL advanced stat is a core part of NFL player stats for evaluating a player’s ability to sustain drives and keep an offense moving. By converting key plays into first downs, players extend possessions, give their team more scoring opportunities, and maintain momentum. In NFL team stats, first down totals help identify efficient offenses, strong rushing attacks, or passing games that consistently move the chains. Tracking this stat over time also highlights individual consistency and a player’s value in high-leverage situations.
