2019 DEFENSIVE SCORING LEADERS AND LOSERS OF THE NFL

I'm not sure which emotion is stronger: the great feeling you get when your defense scores points, or the miserable feeling when your offense turns the ball over leading to automatic points for your opponent.  Regardless, here are some statistics for the 2019 regular season.

These numbers are not perfect since I am relying on data from various websites and not going through all 256 games individually.  

Most Points Scored by Defense- 

1. Ravens - 38
2. Bucs- 36
   
3. Jets- 34
   
4. Patriots- 32
5. 49ers- 30
   

(These numbers come from using 6 points per defensive touchdown scored according to Fox Sports)

Most Points Scored by Opposing Defense-

1. Bucs- 51
2. Bengals-35

          Patriots-35
          Seahawks - 35
    5.   Giants- 30
​(These numbers come from using data from Team Rankings)

Greatest Net Gain with Defensive Scoring-

1. Ravens +38
2. Saints +20

          Titans +20
    4.  Eagles +18
    5.  Jets +15
(These numbers come from finding the difference between two previous data sets) 

Greatest Net Loss with Defensive Scoring-

1. Bengals -33
2. Chargers -21

​          Redskins -21
          Cardinals -21
    5.   Falcons -17
          Seahawks -17

The Playoff Teams- With 12 teams still playing football, I decided to look at and share the data of the teams who are still in the Lombardi hunt.  Not a very good look for my beloved Patriots.
