[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 527511"] For me, it is a never ending cause of annoyance that unfiltered points surrendered is quoted as a defensive stat. Those points can include defensive scores against, surrendered by the offense, and special teams scores against. For instance, didn't Houston set some kind of record for consecutive games with a pick-6 against...5 games I think it was. Further, a crappy offense leaves the defense in compromising positions more often than a good one. There's field position and the fact that a bad offense will tend to lose time of possession leaving the opponent to run more plays (which translates to more yards and points). I believe there are 4 stats, taken together, that give a good picture of a defense: 1. passer rating against 2. average yards per rush against 3. turnovers created 4. red zone points per opportunity against The first 3 are readily available. The 4th. is not easily found, but matters quite a bit nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
