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 to an average schedule of opponents and an average percentage of fumbles recovered by the defense. Performance is also adjusted for domes/retractable roof/outdoors. The exceptions are the three columns marked NON-ADJUSTED. Rushing includes all rushing, not just running backs. However, scrambles are considered as pass plays for the purposes of team DVOA.

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 measures the statistical variance of the team’s weekly DVOA performance. Teams are ranked from most consistent (No. 1, lowest variance) to least consistent (No. 32, highest variance).
SCHEDULE represents the average offensive DVOA of all opponents, with teams ranked from hardest schedule to easiest schedule.

Because positive numbers represent more scoring, defense DVOA is better when it is NEGATIVE.
