What Fumbles lost is

Fumbles lost: fumbles by the offense that the defense recovered. Noisier than most stats, because who recovers a loose ball is close to a coin flip.

Lower is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.

Through Week 6 of 2026, the Jaguars lead at 0; the league average is 0.58.
