During the 2011 season we ran a total of 814 pass and rush attempts. Over 12 games, that averages out to 67.8 plays per game. Over the course of the season we gained 4178 total yards, for an average of 5.1 yards per play.
 
This past season we ran a total of 939 pass and rush attempts. Over 12 games, that averages out to 78.3 plays per game. Over the course of the season we gained 5681 total yards, for an average of 6.1 yards per play. 
 
The thing that jumps out to me is that we averaged one more yard per play. One more yard per play makes getting first downs easier. After that, the rest of the game takes care of itself. 
 
One other note - Nassib has been sacked at a lower percentage of his drop backs this season from last, and was sacked fewer times overall. I expect that is partly a function of his own improvement in the pocket, partly because he's gotten better blocking, and partly because the no huddle has prevented defenses from being able to organize.
