The Passing Premium Puzzle

Benjamin C. Alamar, Menlo College

Abstract

The passing premium puzzle is the existence of a balance between the number of passing and running plays, even though there is a greater expected return in passing plays. The puzzle is documented using both historical trends of aggregate numbers and play by play data from the 2005 NFL season.
