Yes, turnovers are part of the game. It is still the defense's job to prevent
or
limit
points. Holding to a FG when the opposing offense starts inside FG range would be considered a win.

What is the single best measure to rate a defense? Yards allowed per play?

That is dumb. They should take out those points from stat.
Bro

It should be considered a win, a huge win. But wouldn't be by that metric.

Pts allowed over an entire season is the only stat that matters.
