In addition to the Trench Counter for our Team Rankings and on team schedule pages, we are adding a modified Bill Parcells stat that we are calling Total Rushes/Completions (TRC).

Former NFL general manager Michael Lombardi, a disciple of Parcells and Bill Belichick, will look at the game stats and add up the total number of completions and number of rushes, which he says “determines the execution of your football team.”

Taking this statistic one step further, we subtract the total number of completions and rushes the defense gives up from their number on offense to get a usable figure for TRC.

The TRC for the winning team is in bold for every Super Bowl in history to get a feel for the stat in memorable games:
