How to Read This Page
The team board ranks defenses by what they allow in each coverage, filtered by zone, by a specific coverage, or by safety count. Expanding a team shows the receivers who have faced it and how they produced against that look. A defense can be strong overall and still leak against one particular shell, which is what the filters are for.

Coverage splits are not position- or alignment-adjusted
Every snap here is classified to a single coverage shell from charted film. Broken coverages, disguised or mixed looks, and busted plays get bucketed to their pre-snap intent, so figures can differ modestly from sources using a different charting standard.
About the NFL Coverage board
What each defense plays and how it holds up when it plays it. Coverage is the shell a defense sits in — man or zone, and which specific zone — and defenses differ far more within those shells than their overall ranking suggests.

Where the numbers come from
Charted per play and aggregated by defending team and coverage over a season-and-week window, then converted to percentiles so a rate can be read against the rest of the league rather than in isolation.
Who it's for
For receiver and passing-game research, and for understanding why a defense that looks strong on a season line keeps giving up production to one type of route runner.
What the NFL stats mean
aDOTAverage depth of target — how far downfield throws travel in the air.
CPOECompletion percentage over expected — how much better or worse a quarterback completes passes than an average one would on the same throws.
RYOERush yards over expected — yards above what an average back would have gained on the same carries, given the blocking and the defense faced.
YPRRReceiving yards earned for every route run, not just the routes that end in a target.
