Which would certainly suggest that for pretty much every, passing more and rushing less would increase their per play efficiency, meaning none are near the nash equilibrium.

However that said a large chunk of the efficiency gap may be influenced by context. Teams run a lot in short yardage situations and in to run out the clock near the end of the game, these rushing plays are inefficient (in terms of yards per play) but highly beneficial.

I wonder what neutral situation (1st/2nd down in first half [outside 2 minute warning] or a close 3rd quarter game) efficiency difference is. Would be nice seeing how suboptimal every team is in terms of how much they rush.

If I recall correctly, the split I landed on was 57/43, so….yea basically 60/40.
