Buffalo has played 4 of the top 5 NFL defenses

[Skooby]

Here are the Top 5 defenses in the NFL through Week 5 according to Pro Football Reference's EXP rating (expected points contributed by all defense):

1. Detroit Lions
2. Miami Dolphins
3. Buffalo Bills
4. San Diego Chargers
5. Houston Texans

I know the Bills contributed & it's a small sample but it really says something.


Here's our remaining opponents and their defensive ranks in terms of pts/game (currently):

NE - 12
Minn - 20
NYJ - 21
KC - 7
Miami - 19
NYJ - 21
Cleveland - 24
Denver - 16
GB - 10
Oakland - 22
NE - 12

[casdhf]

How can Miami be 2 and 19?

[Meathead]

well part of the reason they are top defenses is bc they played the bills. just sayin

but thats still impressive to come out 3-2. bodes well for the rest of the season

[Bunion]

Wow. Maybe Hackett isn't a total bum.

[ghz in pittsburgh]

Where are Seattle, Arizona, and San Fran ranked? I thought for sure Seattle and Arizona would be on top 5.

[ghz in pittsburgh]

Never mind I looked up myself - I care about scoring only so here is the list by average points allowed per game. Bills at 5th and has played 3 of the top 5 already. Unfortunately though the Bills lost to both Chargers and Texans, who are going to be road blocks to playoff path...

Losing to the Chargers and Texans makes the NE game more crucial than ever-if the Bills need wins for tie breaking rules to get in the playoffs. I hope the Bills are really doing their homework and are pumped for thiss game as much as they were with Miami.

These stats? Someone help me understand the INT and SAFETY numbers because they just don't make sense to me. Are these the pick 6s and the Safety EJ received? Is it because these occurred against the offense the points are taken unto consideration as to NOT count against the defense?

[Ginger Vitis]

that 17.8 pts per game number is not accurate because the 2 pick 6s and the safety are included in the calculation.. the Bills defense average should be 14.6pts per game.. it looks to me the Bills defense is 2nd overall in pts per game

[Topas]

I prefer DVOA of footballoutsiders. See here:

These rankings make more sense to me:

1 DET
2 DEN
3 BUF
4 SEA
5 BAL
6 SF
7 NYG
8 MIA
9 CIN
10 ARI
