Total Defense (YPG)
1) NY Jets (269.2)
2) Denver Broncos (281.3)
3) Seattle Seahawks (294.1)
4) Tennessee Titans (313.6)
5) Tampa Bay Buccs (322.8)
Passing (YPG)
1) Tennessee Titans (184.0)
2) NY Jets (186.6)
3) Denver Broncos (192.2)
4) Seattle Seahawks (200.0)
5) Tampa Bay Buccs (202.4)
Rushing (YPG)
1) Atlanta Falcons (78.8)
2) NY Jets (82.6)
3) Oakland Raiders (83.2)
4) Buffalo Bills (87.2)
5) Denver Broncos (89.2)
Sacks
1) Denver Broncos (26.0)
2) Green Bay Packers (23.0)
3) New England Patriots (19.0)
4) Seattle Seahawks (19.0)
5) St. Louis Rams (19.0)

2) Minnesota Vikings (16.6)
3) Green Bay Packers (16.8)
4) Denver Broncos (17.0)
5) Pittsburgh Steelers (18.0)
(This stat is kind of misleading considering Denver's defense has only allowed 13.5 PPG. Denver has had 3 INTs returned for touchdowns this season. Not sure about all of the other teams.)
Forced Turnovers
1) Denver Broncos (17)
2) Philly Eagles (16)
3) NY Jets (15)
4) Arizona Cardinals (13)
5) Carolina Panthers and NY Giants (11)
3rd Down % Given Up
1) Houston Texans (31.3%)
2) Denver Broncos (31.6%)
3) Seattle Seahawks (31.8%)
4) NY Jets (32.4%)
5) San Diego Chargers (33.8%)
Given the numbers, how would you rate the NFL defenses in 2015 so far?
I'm surprised to see Tennessee and Atlanta doing so well after last season.

Jets about to move down the list

I'm surprised to see Denver holding up so well against the run. They have a pretty small defense, albeit fast. I'm curious to see how they do down the stretch of the season.

A couple of those rankings are misleading...for example, Tampa. No way their defense is actually top 5, but they don't give up a ton of yards because Jameis plays hot potato with the football and gives teams short fields.

Yardage is a terrible defensive stat by itself

The Steelers being 5th in PPG is impressive as hell considering Michael Vick has been doing nothing to help them out. And given that atrocious secondary.
