What Rush Y/A (allowed) is

Yards per carry allowed: opponent rushing yards divided by opponent rush attempts. The standard read of run defense, with the same caveat as the offensive version — a couple of long runs move it a lot.

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 Jaguars lead at 2.93; the league average is 4.18.
