Defensive: Scoring · Fga (allowed)
What Fga (allowed) is
Field goals opponents attempted against this team. It counts how often opponent drives stalled in range instead of reaching the end zone — the bend-but-don't-break number.
Lower is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.
In 2021 the Packers led at 1.29; the league average was 1.89.
