How many points did the defense really give up?

The defense only gave up 221 points the entire season. I added all the points of offensive points only, not defense or special teams.

The Steelers allowed 238 points, i will post the Bills total points aloowed this season later. Also you can request any other team

Steelers D allowed 8 running and 14 passing! Redskins D were 7 and 17, still very good!

I came up with 221 for the Skins too, but I have Pburge at 223, the Pats at 232, and the Beagles at 253. The Bills didn't even look close. So as far as I can tell, the Washington Redskins had the #1 scoring defense (our "Defense" gave up the least amount of points in the league)

So....we are the number one scoring defense in the NFL???

With the offense we had this year, to even be ranked in the top 3 is astonishing.

I'm glad I'm not hearing any "Greg Williams" rumours.

I think we were the #1 defense in scores allowed!

When you add TD allowed rushing & receiving plus FGs:

NE = 9 + 18 + 15 = 234
Pitt = 8 + 14 + 23 = 223
Wash = 7 + 17 + 17 = 219

I dont think anyone else was close!

The Ravens allowed 245 points this season

plus, keep in mind that a lot of those FGs were times where our offense our the special teams gave the other team the ball already in field goal range! the Defense shouldn't be held accountable for those, although i admit that would be rather difficult to track all those stats from the drive charts and whatnot. point is, the defense was even BETTER when you consider that a lot of those field goals weren't their fault (in fact they were defensive victories).
