One of the teams playing between the Seahawks and Jaguars on Sunday has the number one ranked defense, and it isn’t Seattle. Jacksonville leads the NFL in total defense, points allowed and fewest passing yards allowed. They look and play something like the Seahawks of 2013. Their defense is good enough to win a championship.

How do the teams matchup on Sunday?

Points allowed

Seattle: 18.5 per game (Seventh in the NFL)

Jacksonville: 14.8 (First)

The Jaguars are not just first, they are first by a long margin. 2.2 points per game separate Jacksonville from the second-best team, Minnesota.
