Buffalo Rumblings unveils Defensive Impact on Passing (DIP), a new NFL metric that gauges defensive performance by adjusting EPA per dropback against the quality of opposing quarterbacks. By comparing each QB’s actual EPA to his season baseline (excluding the defense in question), DIP offers a cleaner snapshot of how stingy or porous a unit really is.

Buffalo improves from 25th to 23rd in DIP after facing a gauntlet of elite QBs. The metric also highlights big gaps for the Saints, 49ers, Browns, Ravens and Giants, and notes that the Bills’ schedule remains tough heading into a Week 8 bye.
