Going into Week 10 · weeks 1–9, 6,815 passes measured
Each defense's pass rush two ways: the rating of the defenders it actually has on the field going into the week (their sack and quarterback-hit production per dropback, shrunk toward their position's average), and what our tracking measured against it this season: how often pressure arrived before the throw, how fast quarterbacks got rid of the ball, how close the nearest rusher was at the release, and how often five or more rushed.

League averages on this season's measured passes. Pressure is a rusher within 2 yards of the quarterback before the ball is out; rushers are the defenders who rushed on the play. Time to throw is a median over the passes we could measure. Extended plays, where the quarterback leaves the pocket, are the hardest to measure and many are missing or cut short, so our times run about 0.2 to 0.3 seconds below the averages league tracking reports. Compare teams with each other, not with those figures.
Every defense's pass-rush rating going into the week and the pressure it has actually generated, with time to throw forced, blitz share and rusher proximity at the throw.
