Observations/Takeaways:
- The Broncos PB has clearly become the new favorite PB
- There appears to be little overlap in PB usage among the top teams
- For the most part, top teams stick to using only one playbook throughout the season
- Packers is a top four playbook in usage and clearly has as a strong winning record
- Lions PB has a smaller sample size, but is showing a promising win record
- I was interested to see that the Dolphins PB was not more popular
Please share any thoughts you may have on the data.
