A new chapter for the Pittsburgh Steelers is here, including new HC Mike McCarthy among many changes. Today I wanted to look at and provide his track record of the most predictive stat to Super Bowl winners: Adjusted Net Yards per pass Attempt (ANY/A: Passing yards – Sack yards + (20 * Passing TD) – (45 * Interceptions)) / (Passes Attempted + Times Sacked).
In case you’re new to the stat, it has predicted all but one Super Bowl winner since 2000. Here is a visual since 2006, when McCarthy became a head coach, along with Pittsburgh’s results for comparison:
Lots of interesting results.
