What Pass Yds (allowed) is

Passing yards allowed: total yards opponents gained on completed passes against this defense. The headline number, and a volume number — a defense that plays with a lead sees more throws.

Lower is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.
