2005 DEFENSIVE EFFICIENCY RATINGS

Regular season totals, playoffs not included

Revised as of 7/5/2006

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 2004 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.

DEFENSE vs. TYPES OF RECEIVERS

2005 season totals, playoffs not included

Revised as of 7/5/2006

DVOA of defense against receivers does not include sacks or passes with no intended receiver listed. Note that our decision of which receiver is "number one" and which receiver is "number two" is somewhat subjective. Teams are ranked in order of general passing defense DVOA.
