What Pass cmp perc (allowed) is

Completion percentage allowed: opponent completions divided by opponent attempts. The familiar accuracy number from the defense's side — a defense that gives up checkdowns and nothing else can look bad here while playing well.

Lower is better. It is a rate, so a team's number does not grow with games played. Source: P + N.

In 2025 the Eagles led at 56.59; the league average was 63.96.
