If you're statistically inclined, the P-Value on this 0.0001711874, meaning there is a 0.017% chance that this improvement in fumble rate was the result of chance, aka 'just the way the football bounces'.
This is a fairly widespread bell curve distribution but the Patriots are still up on the tail end by a mile. |
Wow.
I'm pissed we haven't been doing this.
