<!--Deployed By ldivock 8.4.2004 15:46:10 Log:20040804154608_27937_ldivock-->The Eagles have the No. 1 offense, slightly ahead of the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts. Although ranked 24th in total yards allowed in the NFL, the Eagles fare much better (ninth) in the Aikman Defensive Ratings, primarily due to a resolute goal-line defense that has allowed only 27 of a possible 77 points (35.06 percent) in the red zone. Philadelphia's effective bend-don't-break style, while protecting three early leads, is accurately reflected in its Aikman Defensive Rating of 81.07.
The Seahawks, who have allowed a league-low 13 points, are tied for the league high with 10 takeaways, have allowed foes to convert only 21.4 percent of third-down conversions and have built a substantial lead in the Aikman Defensive Rating. The Seattle offense, 17th by NFL standards of total yards gained, is 10th (81.48) in the Aikman Offensive Ratings due to strong ratings in the red zone and by having committed only three turnovers.
Seattle's defense ranks second in the NFL based on total yards allowed behind the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are not as highly regarded by the Aikman Defensive Ratings (76.51 -- good for 15th) because they have forced only two turnovers and yielded 73.81 percent of possible points when opponents have reached their red zone.

The Aikman Efficiency Ratings measure offensive and defensive performance using a combination of seven key statistics identified by Troy Aikman, and then measured against league norms (and extremes) established over the last 10 years. An offense or defense performing exactly at league norms in all categories will achieve a score of 75.
It will take a truly exceptional unit to score more than 90 during an entire season on either the offensive or defensive scale. In 2003, AER scores ranged on offense from 93.95 (Kansas City) to 63.55 (New York Giants) and on defense from 86.87 (New England) to 62.60 (San Diego).

The Aikman Efficiency Ratings measure offensive and defensive performance using a combination of seven key statistics identified by Troy Aikman, and then measured against league norms (and extremes) established over the last 10 years. An offense or defense performing exactly 75.
The Aikman Efficiency Ratings measure offensive and defensive performance using a combination of seven key statistics identified by Troy Aikman, and then measured against league norms (and extremes) established over the last 10 years. An offense or defense performing exactly at league norms in all categories will achieve a score of 75.
It will take a truly exceptional unit to score more than 90 during an entire season on either the offensive or defensive scale. In 2003, AER scores ranged on offense from 93.95 (Kansas City) to 63.55 (New York Giants) and on defense from 86.87 (New England) to 62.60 (San Diego).
The seven categories measured are:
- Adjusted Points (20 percent) -- Total Points Scored or Allowed minus Points on Returns and Safeties.
- Turnovers (20 percent).
- Red Zone Efficiency (20 percent) -- Measured by Percent of Possible Points (figured by taking the number of Red Zone Chances times 7, then dividing it by the number of Points Actually Scored (defined as TDs times 7 plus FGs times 3).
- Yards Per Play -- Divided into Yards Per Rush (10 percent of total) and Yards Per Pass Play (10 percent of total). Yards Per Pass Play includes yards on plays involving sacks.
- First Down Achievement -- Divided into Total First Downs (10 percent of total) and 3rd Down Conversion Percentage (10 percent of total).
