What Washington calls on every down, distance and part of the field, and how often each call works.
Every play is counted, so these tables line up with a box score. "Close-game plays only" leaves out snaps after a game is decided, when teams stop calling plays the way they normally do.
Washington's plays work 44% of the time (130 of 298). All teams: 44%. That is about average. A play "works" when it stays on schedule: half the distance on first down, 70% on second, all of it on third or fourth.

On 3rd & 1-3 they throw 53% of the time, but passes work 22% (2 of 9) and runs work 75% (6 of 8).
On 2nd & 4-6 they run 58% of the time, but runs work 26% (5 of 19) and passes work 57% (8 of 14).
18% of Washington's runs are stopped for no gain or a loss, against 16% for all teams. That ranks 103rd of 137.

From 5 games through week 5, garbage time left out. Every line compares this team with all FBS teams in the same spot and shows the count behind it. "Small sample" means fewer than 15 plays, so treat it as a lead, not a fact. Copy puts the line on your clipboard, ready to paste.
The rank is among FBS teams, with 1st the best for an offense, and the bar fills toward the best. Garbage time is left out. These are plain rates, not adjusted for opponent. A drive's points count the touchdown with its extra point or a field goal.
312 plays across 5 games. Run rate 42%. The quarterback has 38 of 132 runs, and the feed cannot tell a designed keeper from a scramble.
