Steelers join '86 Bears and '02 Bucs as the only teams since the merger to lead all defenses in the following four categories:
Adjusted Net Yards per Pass Attempt Allowed ([PassYd + PassTD*10 - INT*45 - SkYdLst] / [Pass Attempts + Sacks]):
Adjusted Yards per Carry Allowed ([Rushing Yards <plus> Rushing TDs*20] / Carries):
Points allowed
Offensive Touchdowns allowed:
Equally interesting note: Lions become only the fourth team since 1960 to rank dead last in each of these four categories. And only the rush defense category was even close.
