Super Bowl Contenders Critical Defensive Stats: Where Is Your Team?

Super Bowl Contenders: These stats are compiled through Week 13 in the National Football League.  The following charts show the top contenders for the Super Bowl (through Week 13 and according to our top analysts) along with their respective rankings in the NFL for each stat.  Lower numbers are better meaning higher ranked in the league.  We chose these particular stats because A) winning and holding down points is the name of the game, and B) the league is clearly oriented around the passing game and the quarterback.

Scoring Defense: This is a statistic that is exactly how it sounds.  It measures the total pints given up by each team.  Bear in mind this does not account for scores given up by the offense or special teams or horrendous field position for the defense.

Team Opponent Scoring Efficiency: This statistic measures the rate at which opponents have had scoring drives as a percentage of all drives.  This would include drives that result in a touchdown or a field goal.  This tells you how effective your team’s defense is at keeping points off the board regardless of field position and the number of drives the opponent had for the game.

Ever find yourself watching your team and saying “we really need a stop here”???  If so then you might want to zero in on Team Opponent Scoring Efficiency.  That stat is telling you how good your team is at getting off the field defensively without giving up points.  That is, after all, the primary objective of any defense.

Now let’s take a look at the average of all four categories.  Remember, the lower the number the better for your team’s DEFENSIVE productivity.

Total Rankings (Average of four Categories)
Scoring D Sacks Passes D Opp Scoring Eff Average
Team NFL Rank NFL Rank NFL Rank NFL Rank Raw Number
Patriots 4 14 17 6 10.25
Chiefs 12 15 2 9 9.5
Raiders 28 29 6 21 21
Ravens 2 12 12 1 6.75
Steelers 8 16 9 8 10.25
Broncos 5 1 3 3 3
Cowboys 7 22 30 19 19.5
Seahawks 1 4 13 2 5
Giants 9 13 1 12 8.75
Lions 15 26 25 26 23
Falcons 30 20 24 30 26
Bucs 18 11 10 14 13.25

 

Here are the Top 5 Defensive Teams in the NFL among legitimate Super Bowl contenders based on this analysis:

  • Denver Broncos
  • Seattle Seahawks
  • Baltimore Ravens
  • New York Giants
  • Kansas City Chiefs

Also of note is how the DEFENSE will hold up in the playoffs for the Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers should they get to that point.
