What Pass sacked perc (Off − Def) is

Sack rate taken minus sack rate forced. Lower is better — the rate version, less swayed by how often each side threw.

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

In 2024 the Broncos led at -4.69; the league average was -0.01.
