TEAM FINGERPRINT

San Francisco 49ers

The 2016 offense as a single flow — from who was on the field, to how they lined up, to run or pass, to what it got them. Every snap is counted, not modeled; the shape of the ribbon is the identity of the offense.

Each ribbon is a band of plays flowing left to right through the four decisions of a snap. Width is how many plays; color is how efficient they were (mean EPA per play). Hover any ribbon or block for its play count, share of the offense, EPA and success rate.
