What Pass yds per att (allowed) is

Yards per attempt allowed: opponent passing yards divided by opponent attempts — how much each throw against this defense gained, on average. The quickest read of pass defense, with the same blind spot as the offensive version: sacks are not attempts, so they are not credited here.

Lower 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 4.90; the league average is 6.62.
