2001 DEFENSIVE EFFICIENCY RATINGS
Regular season totals, playoffs not included
Revised as of 7/27/2006
This page lists DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) for total defense as well as rushing and passing defense separated.
The DVOA system is explained here. All numbers below are adjusted based
on strength of schedule. They are also adjusted to an average percentage of fumbles recovered by the defense. The exceptions are the final three
columns, which are unadjusted total, passing, and rushing defense. Rushing includes all rushing, not just running backs.
LAST YEAR represents 2000 rank. WEIGHTED DEFENSE is adjusted so that earlier games in the season become gradually
less important. It better reflects how the team was playing at the end of the season.
VARIANCE (VAR.) measures the statistical variance
of the team's weekly DVOA performance on defense. Teams are ranked from least consistent (#1, highest variance) to
most consistent (#32, smallest variance).
Remember, since positive numbers represent more scoring, defense is better when it is NEGATIVE.
