I was just trying to make sure I understood it correctly. I'm not a statistics guy at all
As far as the sacks data, I multiplied everything by negative 1 so you want to look for positive correlation.
Basically if I didn't do that, you would want to look for the most negative correlations, such as which stats yield the least sacks allowed.
However, I decided to multiply it by negative 1 just to make it look and feel similar to all the other correlations I've done. Sorry for the confusion.
