FootballOutsiders: final 2016 rankings (hide your eyes)

I stopped posting these weekly 5- 6 weeks ago because, well, why.... But I think it's interesting to look at their final rankings of the team/units and individual players.

And there's this:
"The Falcons finished the year No. 1 on offense, but the more notable number belongs to the team that finished with the worst offense, the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams ended their season with the worst single game of the year by DVOA, putting up -109.7% in a 44-6 loss to Arizona. That was enough to drop the Rams' offensive DVOA to -38.1%. Think about how bad some other offenses were this year, such as the Browns, the Jets, and the Texans. The DVOA difference between the Rams and any of those defenses was bigger than the difference between the No. 1 offense in Atlanta and the No. 10 offense in Buffalo. With their offensive ineptitude in the final couple weeks, the Rams dropped down onto the list of the worst offenses in DVOA history."

Worst Offensive DVOA 1989-2016
1. 2002 Houston
2. 1992 Seattle
3. 2005 San Francisco
4. 2016 Los Angeles Rams
5. 2006 Oakland
