Like in a business, you can't look at one key indicator...
There has to be several KPI's, but not too many. My thoughts off the top my head:
Total yards per game
Points conceded per yards or drives
Take aways

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

but they don't, so it's not the best measure for judging a defense

Or if there is a turnover and the defense starts

Are all possessions considered drives?
garyfan

Yes, turnovers are part of the game. It is still the defense's job to prevent

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.
