Since it is difficult to quantify value for defenses aside from defensive touchdowns and considering the varying ways individual leagues score defense, I assigned a point total to each defense. For each sack, fumble recovered or interception I assigned one point and then added them to get a final number. Defensive TD (DTD) are listed separately. 

1. Minnesota Vikings- 69 – 9 DTD
2. Chicago Bears- 74 – 8 DTD
3. Dallas Cowboys- 75 – 4 DTD
4. New England Patriots- 78 – 8 DTD
5. San Diego Chargers- 91 – 8 DTD
6. Seattle Seahawks- 79 – 5 DTD
