Everything here is what the defence earned, 2025 regular season — 1st takes the most, 32nd the fewest. Sacks and turnovers are counted from the opponent's box score, so a team sack with no individual credited is not lost. Takeaways are interceptions plus fumbles recovered; the differential is against this team's own giveaways (12).
