Ranked among 32 NFL defenses, per game. For “allows” stats, #1 means the most allowed (weakest defense against that role), so ▲ here marks a weakness to attack. Sacks and interceptions: #1 is the best. Roles are inferred from stat lines: QB = 5+ pass attempts, RB = 3+ carries, WR/TE = other receivers.
