So many people look at the statistics and wonder why the Seattle Seahawks are where they are. They are ignoring two telling statistics . . . points allowed by the offense . . . and . . . points made by the defense.
It is a dimension of the game no one analyzes or even keeps, but it certainly makes a difference.
Should the NFL add two statistics that they currently ignore?
Yes, those statistics would be great, but when an interception or fumble is run back for a touchdown, those yards should be deducted from the offensive yards gained by the team throwing the interception or fumbling the ball, just like a sack.
Reply:the points scored by a defense is a stat. There is a section for that. but points giving up by an offense isnt kept which is pretty interesting. I think it should be called PSDT. points scored directly off a turnover.
Reply:If the Defense SCORES a TD, doesn't that mean the other offense ALLOWED the TD? So yeah I mean it is kept, just not by the NFL. Keep your own spreadsheet. Anyway I agree it would be interesting to see it written out so people could see it though.
Reply:I think they do keep track of defensive TDs. Points allowed by an offense would be interesting to see.
