Team rankings
NFL team rankings: offense and defense
PickFinder Team•Updated:
The Cincinnati Bengals lead NFL teams in passing yards at 302.1 per game in 2026. The Seattle Seahawks allow the fewest (158) and the Detroit Lions allow the most (298.7).
The biggest mismatch on passing yards: the Cincinnati Bengals (1st in passing yards, 302.1 per game) against the Detroit Lions (32nd allowed, 298.7 per game). These are 2026 numbers through about 8 games per team.
Green always means more of the stat, red means less. So a green defense is a soft one, and a green offense is a productive one. These are team totals per game.

How this is counted
Team totals per game for 2026: every player's stat on the team, added up per game, for the team's own players (offense) and for the players it faced (defense). Offense ranks 1st for the most, defense ranks 1st for the least, with ties sharing a rank. Mismatches take, for each of the first four stats, the three most productive offenses against the three softest defenses and show how far each side sits from the league average, averaged. Computed each morning from every box score of the season, preseason excluded, and refreshed here by 8:40 AM ET.
