And BAM!, just like that, we're back in the lead for passing defensive suck. Well done, everybody!
Even though Mike Vick could only unleash a 103 QB rating against us, the Broncos' surprising stonewall of Matt Cassel dropped them below us. Yet, that couldn't save Josh McDaniels' job? Things that make you go "hmmmmm." Numbers below the break.
Sadly, we still trail the 0-16 Detroit Lions squad for the worst overall DVOA in the past 20 years (lower DVOAs are better):
Team | Year | DVOA |
DET | 2008 | 29.2% |
JUGGER-NOT | 2010 | 25.3% |
DEN |
2008 | 24.7% |
MIN | 2000 | 24.4% |
STL | 2008 | 23.4% |
For pass defense, though, WE'RE #1!:
Team | Year | PassDVOA |
JUGGER-NOT | 2010 | 47.2% |
DEN | 2010 | 46.1% |
DET | 2009 | 40.1% |
JAC | 2009 | 39.8% |
BAL | 1996 | 38.8% |
Giving up first downs on 3rd and 19s doesn't really help your DVOA rating. Nope. Not at all.
To celebrate, this week's musical tribute is a shout-out to Frank Bush. Couldn't have done it without you, bay-beee!!!!
