Of the 32 NFL teams ranked in the 2026 regular season, the top 25 are listed above. Total passing EPA is the cumulative expected points added on passing plays throughout the season. It reflects how much value above average the passing game generated across all games, not yards or touchdowns, but the aggregate margin above situational expectation on every dropback. Figures are as of October 22, 2026 & are recalculated on StatRankings after each game's play-by-play is processed.
