Well I wanted to look at this a different way. So often we look at who teams play, we don’t look at their relative defensive ability, how well they hold opposing below their season averages. By doing this we look at a teams ability to stop a team from reaching their mean success on offense. By looking at a defense this way we are able to get a better image of how strong a defense is and it weakens the impact of playing a strong of weak schedule. Now the always amazing Chase Stuart look at this in a similar way but didn’t quite look at it from this angle, but if you are craving more stats on this, he has a great read on it here. […]

Regular season only, so you only get to count the Niners twice and Saints once, and everyone has four road/home games so that cancels out.

They also played the Jaguars and Bucs who were by far the worst two teams in the league, and that drags them way down. If you don’t consider those two teams then the Seahawks would have had the 11th hardest schedule by Adv NFL Stats.
