What Pass int perc (allowed) is

Interception rate forced: interceptions divided by opponent pass attempts, as a percentage. The rate version, so a defense that faces a lot of throws is not flattered by volume.

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

Through Week 6 of 2026, the Seahawks lead at 4.55; the league average is 2.11.
