    That 20.5 would move us from 12th to 9th in scoring defense.

    But you would also have to take off everybody else's points allowed on offense or special teams, and I'm not sure how many that would be.

    True, I just really wish they would adjust that to make it truly reflect defensive scoring. This method only shows how many points the team gives up in total.

    ETA It's kinda like how they place sacks as yardage lost in rushing instead of like the NFL which places yardage lost on sacks in the passing yardage category where it should actually be.
