What Pass int perc (Off − Def) is

Interception rate thrown minus interception rate forced. Lower is better — the rate version of the turnover battle through the air.

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

In 2022 the 49ers led at -1.60; the league average was 0.02.
