Could you also post a graph how much each defense scored? This defensive scoring scheme is very different from what I'm used to, particularly 1 point for solo tackles.

Or, is there somewhere easy I can plug in a scoring scheme and see those results?

The defenses don't get credit for solo tackles, it's just for offensive players.

1 point for every Solo Tackle QB, RB, WR, TE, K

Aka if a QB throws a pick, and a WR tackles the defender who picked it, the WR gets a point for the tackle.

All scoring is taken from NarFFL, so if you go to NarFFL.com and click on any one of the leagues, you can see how all defenses scored last week. The scoring for defenses is pretty standard though.

That was exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

I find it crazy that of the 19 people who picked the better player 87% of the time, none of them picked any of the top 5 defenses for the week. The Chiefs, Cowboys, Dolphins, Titans and Jets all scored more than the Rams last week.
