I would just like to point out, points given up per game is not a defensive statistic.  It's a team statistic that includes a lot of points that are scored when the defense is not even on the field. 

 

For example, the Jaguars "points scored against" last year was 25 points per game, but that includes 1 punt return TD, and 3 interception return TDs.  It's also skewed by an offense that did not control the ball and so did not keep the opposing offense off the field. 

 

The length of the average drive by our opposition last year was 26.8 yards, which was 5th shortest in the NFL.  Total yards given up was top-6.  Yards per play was also top-6. 

 

Bottom line, there is no NFL statistic for "points given up by defense."  It doesn't exist.   The only official stat for "points given up" is points given up by the entire team.  I'm just pointing that out because people use points-given-up to criticize our defense, and it's not a valid criticism.   

 

I agree with 20.6.   That's a pretty good guess.
