Passer rating allowed: safeties ranked

The passer rating of quarterbacks throwing at him. 158.3 is perfect for the passer, so lower is better for the defender.

Why the box score misses it: Not in the box score.

Best so far: Talanoa Hufanga (DEN), 39. A typical safety is 92. Players need at least 10 targets to qualify, so nobody is ranked on a handful of plays. Lower is better.

How to read this table

The number on the left is the league rank among safeties, even when the list is filtered to one team.
“Against the league” draws each player on the same strip: the ends are the 10th-best and 90th-best player, the shaded stretch is the middle half, and the tick is the median. Right is always better.
“Lately” is the change in grade between a player's last 2 games and the games before them. The tag says whether the change is bigger than what a few plays could cause.
Tick “Show the box score” to put the traditional totals next to the advanced number and sort by either.
