Fear, anxiety, and stress aren’t emotions associated with winning football games. Just like in business, clear goals and performance tracking are crucial for success in the NFL. That’s where Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) come into play. These frameworks help teams and individuals monitor progress and strive for the ultimate goal: a Super Bowl victory.
These two acronyms are often confused, but they represent distinct approaches. OKRs require identifying a target (the objective) and the metrics to measure progress (key results). KPIs, on the other hand, focus solely on tracking progress towards pre-existing goals—think of them as signals indicating whether a team is heading in the right direction. Imagine a team aiming for a playoff berth. Their OKR might be to win the division, with key results like achieving a certain win-loss record or leading the league in specific statistics. KPIs would then track weekly performance metrics like passing yards, rushing yards, and turnovers to gauge progress toward that larger objective.

Defining OKRs in the NFL Context
OKRs define “objectives” for a team or player and the measurable “key results” demonstrating achievement. They represent ambitious goals and define the steps needed to achieve them. OKRs can be used for season-long objectives or for shorter-term goals within a season.
OKR Examples in the NFL
OKRs can be set at the team, unit, and individual player levels.
Team OKR:
- Objective: Win the Super Bowl.
- Key Result 1: Secure a first-round bye in the playoffs.
- Key Result 2: Rank in the top 5 in both offense and defense.
- Key Result 3: Maintain a turnover differential of +10 or better.
- Key Result 4: Achieve a 70% red zone scoring efficiency.
Offensive Unit OKR:
- Objective: Lead the league in passing yards.
- Key Result 1: Average 300 passing yards per game.
- Key Result 2: Complete 65% of passes.
- Key Result 3: Allow fewer than 20 sacks for the season.
- Key Result 4: Achieve a passer rating of 100 or higher.
Individual Player OKR (Quarterback):
- Objective: Earn League MVP.
- Key Result 1: Throw for 4,500 yards.
- Key Result 2: Throw 35 or more touchdown passes.
- Key Result 3: Maintain a completion percentage of 70%.
- Key Result 4: Achieve a passer rating of 110 or higher.

Defining KPIs in the NFL Context
KPIs are performance metrics evaluating the success of a team, unit, or player. They can measure anything from individual player stats to team performance in specific areas. While the historical origins of KPIs may be unclear, measuring performance is essential in modern football.
KPI Example in the NFL
Consider a quarterback’s completion percentage.
KPI for Quarterback Completion Percentage:
- What: Maintain a completion percentage of 65% or higher.
- Why: High completion percentage correlates with offensive efficiency and winning games.
- How: Achieved through accurate passing, good decision-making, and effective offensive schemes.
- Who: The quarterback is primarily responsible, supported by the offensive coordinator and receivers.
- When: Measured on a game-by-game and season-long basis.

Differentiating OKRs and KPIs in the NFL
OKRs set ambitious goals and define measurable steps for achievement. They focus on the desired outcome and the path to get there. KPIs track ongoing performance and act as indicators of progress toward existing goals.
| Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) | Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) |
|---|---|
| Goals with attached metrics | Standalone metrics |
| Setting a new goal with success indicators | Signals applied to an existing goal or process |
| Used to lead and measure | Used to measure |
| Often set and measured over a season or specific period | Measured continuously |
Choosing Between OKRs and KPIs in Football
The choice between OKRs and KPIs depends on the specific needs of the team or individual. For overall strategic direction and ambitious goals, OKRs are more suitable. For tracking progress toward existing goals and identifying areas for improvement, KPIs are more effective. Often, a combination of both provides the most comprehensive approach.
Using OKRs and KPIs Together in the NFL
KPIs can inform the development of OKRs. For example, if a team’s KPI for rushing yards is low, they might set an OKR to improve their running game with key results focused on yards per carry, rushing touchdowns, and offensive line performance.
The Importance of Performance Measurement in the NFL
Regardless of the chosen method, measuring and reviewing performance is crucial for improvement. Tracking progress, identifying weaknesses, and adjusting strategies are essential for success in the highly competitive NFL. Learning from both successes and failures allows teams to constantly evolve and strive for peak performance.
