NFL Team Defense Stats 2024-25

Evaluating an NFL defense requires knowing how a number of factors come together to produce one coherent unit. The defensive stats below help tell the story of a number of different factors. Some of the stats highlighted range from quarter-by-quarter breakdowns to red zone stats, turnover stats, and penalty stats. This team defense page shows everything from which NFL team allows the most 4th quarter points to which team forces the most turnovers. Each stat is updated after games conclude, allowing readers to gain insight into each defense.

Team Defense Stats: NFL 2024-25 Season Statistics

There are plenty of ways to evaluate NFL defensive stats. Teams that allow for fast starts will need more production from their offense, while teams that consistently play from behind will usually see more second half production, commonly referred to as “garbage time”. Viewing how many plays a team allows is also important. Simply put, the more plays a team runs, the more opportunity there is for them to produce. If you are looking for big plays against a defense, teams that allow over six yards per play indicate that they are giving up too many big plays. Defenses that allow less than 5.5 yards per play make it tougher to move the ball in big chunks.

Diving into rushing production allowed, a lot of the stats will have similar guidelines. Bad teams will see a lot of rushing production against them because of the positive game script. Yards and touchdowns are easy targets, but yards per attempt will show how easy it is to run on an opponent. The 4.2 yard mark is an excellent target, with anything under that number making things more difficult for backs. Passing production is similar, as many teams with bad defenses will throw more. Yards per completion will show the effectiveness of each successful passing play. Yards per attempt is another crucial stat, focusing more on the passing volume a defense faces.

Red zone defense is crucial, and you have a lot of teams that play a "bend don’t break" style of defense. That means the yardage allowed is high, but points allowed is low. Turnovers do not measure how talented a defense is, but it does help. If you are looking for fantasy production, then turnovers are something to focus on.

Breaking Down NFL Team Defense Stats

This page makes it simple to break down the stats and measure a team's defense. Overall points allowed can be broken down by quarter. It's important to see if defenses are struggling right off the bat or tighten up over the course of a game. This information can be useful for betting totals and NFL game props. Check in on how many overall plays defenses are allowing, as well as yards and yards per play.

The true elite defenses excel against both the running game and the passing game, but stopping the pass has become vastly more important over the last decade. Under the passing allowed, you can see which defenses are allowing the most production to opposing passing offenses. You can also see how much volume is coming their way. This could either be because they are a strong team that keeps leads and forces opponents to throw more against them, or they have a weaker secondary. The same goes for rushing production allowed, where high volume could be because they are constantly trailing and opposing offenses run more or their run defense is simply on the weaker side.

Top defenses are going to limit red zone attempts, often not allowing opponents inside their own 20 yard line. Red zone percentage is going to reflect the amount of times a team has scored while inside the 20 yard line. Forcing turnovers and sacks are both key for successful defenses. Defenses are going to generate turnovers in different ways, as they might have more interceptions or fumbles. Penalties can sabotage a defense, and teams that are disciplined will have an edge.

Styles Of Defense

There is a lot of turnover within defenses on a yearly basis, but the top teams defensively are going to keep a strong roster from top to bottom. We have seen teams pride themselves on the defensive side and continue to dominate year in and year out. Defenses aren't always going to be equal in stopping the run and the pass, and some defenses might not even be able to stop either. The table above shows which teams struggle or excel in each department. Defenses are going to strive for turnovers, have a strong pass rush, or play a "bend don’t break" style.

Defenses with a higher number of turnovers or sacks don’t always translate to being a top defense, but still have the chance to be more productive and cover up weaknesses. We have seen teams jump in variance for sacks and turnovers, but turnovers more specifically. Just because a defense doesn’t have a ton of interceptions doesn’t mean they are a bad pass defense. The same goes for sacks as teams can generate pressure but struggle to bring down the quarterback.

Over the offseason, teams will try to fix issues from the last year. Keep an eye on teams making those moves as, if they have a struggling pass defense, they will add some defensive backs. Teams will also draft according to their most pressing needs.
