Offensive Scoring Percentage

The Cardinals have had a more efficient offense than the Seahawks despite the fact both of their starting quarterbacks missed time with injuries. And while the Seahawks scored 51 points on a team that blew out the Cardinals, they still hold the 12th-worst scoring percentage in football, with 33.5 percent of all drives ending in an offensive score.

The Cardinals, despite recent offensive struggles and having gone yet another week without encroaching 30-plus points on offense, are tied for the sixth-best scoring percentage with 44.4 percent of all offensive drives ending in a score, for a nearly 11 percent differential.

While the Seahawks hold the advantage in the percentage of offensive possessions ending in a turnover at 6.3 percent, the second-lowest in the NFL, the Cardinals own the fourth-lowest total at 7.7 percent. Both teams are two of just four to boast an offensive turnover percentage lower than 8 percent.
