2010 December Defensive Report Card: Week 16

We redesigned the Defensive part of the ERA Formula this season to allow defensive stats to be pulled from the Football ERA Formula Results at any time.  This week the results of the Defensive Report Card were recalculated in order to highlight the role that the defensive side of the ball has played in the rebirth of the Rams, Chiefs, and Falcons this season--as well as the rise of the Packers in recent weeks.

Its also important to note that the fall of the Arizona Cardinals to the bottom of the NFC West has as much to do with changes on their defense and a resultant lack of production--as it does with the dropoff at the Quaterback position from last season.
