It's official, sports fans: Passer Rating Differential is the most important stat in football. It's the one indicator virtually guaranteed to separate winners from losers and champs from chumps.

 

If your team dominates this indicator, it dominates on the field. If your team's bad in this indicator, it's bad on the field.

I'd say 3rd down conversions, vs. 3rd down stops.

 

The Patriots had the highest 3rd down completion rate in the NFL last year. AND the most 3rd down conversions/First downs in NFL history (444).

We need to make our conversions, to give the D a rest. And we need to get Brady off the field.

because its a complex stat taking many into account. it makes perfect sense as it covers scoring, turnovers, and more and then coupled into a differential... its very telling. i think the OP was going after some basic ones though.
