It's easy to skew numbers in this league given how many teams are pretty terrible and given how bad the worst of the worst can be.

Which is a great reason why things like DVOA are INTERESTING and DIRECTIVE but not EVIDENTIAL.
The sample size is just so small, that a simple thing like blowing out a collapsing Miami Dolphins team with a vulnerable QB down key pieces of his supporting cast can drastically skew things.
