The Montreal Canadiens are clearly one of the most exciting teams in the NHL, due to the fact that they are the youngest organization in the league.

And while they currently hold a 2-1 lead in their second-round series against the Buffalo Sabres, there is one particular number that has remained consistent.

Canadiens Star Players at 5v5

10 playoff games in, some of their most electric point producers have yet to find the back of the net at 5v5.

Juraj Slafkowski, who set a new career high with 73 points in 82 games in the regular season, has no points.

Cole Caufield, who finished second in goal scoring with 51 goals in the regular season, did not have any points.

Calder Trophy finalist Ivan Demidov has no points.

This is the type of situation that will sink most teams, especially teams like the Habs who rely on the first line.

However, thanks to key contributions from Zachary Bolduc, Alex Texier and Kirby Dach, among others, the Canadiens are not only moving forward, but they have offered back-to-back dominant performances against the Sabres.

Of course, sticking to 5v5 ignores their powerplay production, with both Caufield and Slafkowski scoring significant powerplay goals in Game 3, which is an indicator that they can eventually take turns at equal strength.

As head coach Martin Saint-Louis explained on Tuesday, powerplay touches can go a long way in restoring a player’s confidence once the man advantage is gone. He was talking about Dach in this particular case, but the logic also applies to Slafkovsky, Demidov, and Caufield.

depth value

Here’s how 5v5 production breaks down across the lineup. Zachary Bolduc leads the way with two goals and four assists, including Newhook, Dach and Texier.

If I had told you heading into the playoffs that the three players in question would go scoreless for 10 games at 5v5, you probably would have asked me how they could possibly avoid being eliminated in the first round.

And the answer is that the Habs have somehow managed to produce a hero every night, one who is not among the highest-paid players in the lineup, and one who does not enjoy playing on the first line.

In other words, the depth players have responded well beyond expectations given the circumstances.

There were punches thrown and blood flowing, but at the end of the day, the line of handshakes unfolded like it was the most gentlemanly match of the afternoon – as it always is, as it always should be.

As for the Carolina Hurricanes, they greeted the handshake line with smiles as they were about to come out on top with a 4-2 win over the Ottawa Senators. It was only the second time in franchise history that the Hurricanes swept a team in a four-game series, and the first time that they did not hold a lead in any of the games played.

As the game began, the Hurricanes were without one of their best playmakers in Nikolaj Ehlers, who was ruled out with a lower body injury shortly before the game began. With an open spot in the lineup, the Hurricanes chose to employ their grinder and bruiser, Nicolas Deslauriers. Due to his fourth-line placement and frequent use of special teams, he logged only six shifts in 3:09 – but the time he played was very noticeable. He was second in most hits throughout the game with a total of four hits, and managed to block one shot and have one shot on goal in his short time on the ice.

Tyler Kleven’s hit on Alexander Nikishin led to a heated argument throughout the game.

As the game remained scoreless early in the second period, Tyler Kleven laid down a big hit on Alexander Nikishin – a hit that served as the first domino of a long line of heated exchanges throughout the game, but sadly ended Nikishin’s own match.

The Hurricanes on the ice immediately stood up for their teammate, and by the time the puck was dropped again, the Hurricanes were shorthanded. Cleven’s hit was reviewed, but he was not awarded a penalty.

Carolina accumulated a total of 22 penalty minutes throughout the game, giving the Senators nine power plays, including three five-on-three opportunities.

Hurricanes’ secondary scorers, defense come up big again

A little over 15 minutes into the second period, the first goal of the game came from Public Enemy Number One in Ottawa, Ontario, when Taylor Hall found the back of the net. Throughout the game, he was booed from the crowd whenever he touched the puck due to his controversial hit on Jake Sanderson in Game 3, which put the Senators’ top-pairing defenseman in concussion protocol, essentially ending his postseason.

Hall has accounted for each of the Hurricanes’ game-opening goals so far in the postseason.

A few minutes later, Drake Batherson evened the score on the power play.

At 9:10 of the third period, the Hurricanes once again got help from Logan Stankoven, who put the puck in the back of the net on the power play to give Carolina the lead. In doing so, he became the first player in franchise history to start the postseason with a four-game goal streak.

The lead held for the rest of the game, with Sebastian Aho scoring his first empty-netter goal of the game (yes, his first), followed soon after by Dylan Cozens scoring a claw-back goal to bring the game within a goal again, Aho then scored his second empty-netter goal and a 4–2 win.

The defense and penalty killer were excellent throughout the series, and really shined in the Hurricanes’ two games north of the border. In this aspect Saturday was an even bigger story than Thursday, and Jacob Slavin was representing it with great effort. Of the full 13:21 time on the penalty kill, Slavin played an astonishing 10:14. Overall, he played 26:22 and led all Hurricanes skaters in ice time.

storm game notes

The Hurricanes are the first team in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs to punch their ticket to the second round.

In all four games, the Hurricanes never trailed the Senators. They were the first team to do so in a first-round series since the Detroit Red Wings in 2009.

Despite ranking first for most penalties taken (26) so far in the postseason, the Hurricanes allowed only one power play goal in their entire series against the Senators. With a penalty kill percentage of 95.2, only the Boston Bruins have a better penalty kill (100%) due to penalty volume (also 26).

With the conclusion of Carolina’s first-round series, FanDuel Sports Network will no longer be the broadcast home of the Hurricanes, as they will officially cease operations after all first-round games are completed.

The Montreal Canadiens emerged victorious in their Game One matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning on the back of a hat-trick effort from forward Juraj Slafkowski.

It is impossible to ignore the fact that all three of their goals came on the powerplay, a situation that will be very difficult to replicate going forward.

Canadiens vs Lightning at 5v5

The Lightning have an excellent penalty kill, shutting down 82.6% of their opponents’ man advantages during the regular season, third best in the NHL.

With this in mind, it is important to evaluate how teams performed at 5v5 to better understand how the series will progress. While special teams will play a significant role in some games, hockey is mostly played at even strength.

In that vein, the Lightning controlled 54.8% of shots (34-28) on Sunday night, which isn’t particularly surprising as they do a better job of controlling shots than the Canadiens, however, when we filter the results further, it becomes clear that the Habs were far better on high-danger shots.

The Canadiens held an 8-1 advantage in high-danger shots at 5v5, a flat-out dominant share of one of the most important statistical categories in hockey.

As we all know, not all shots are created equal. While a team that outshoots its opponents generally has a better chance of winning, that advantage diminishes when the opponent does a better job of creating high-quality shooting opportunities.

The Canadiens took many of their shots from the slot, while the Lightning were largely kept to the perimeter.

To put a nice point on his excellence in high-danger opportunities, Slafkowski made three times more high-quality shots than the entire Lightning lineup.

In an ideal world, you want your team to control both the quantity and quality of shots. However, in a short series, just focusing on quality could be enough to ensure four wins.

The Orlando Magic lost 113-108 to the Houston Rockets on Thursday night after giving up a 19-point lead in the second half, but Desmond Benn’s historic February continued despite the loss.

Ben scored 30 points in 38 minutes, adding six rebounds, four assists and two steals. He shot 12-for-19 from the field and 6-for-10 from 3-point range, without attempting any free throws, finishing with a team-high plus-9 rating.

After the game, Magic writer Josh Cohen wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Ben had entered rare statistical company.

“In the month of February, @OrlandoMagic’s Desmond Benn became the sixth player in @NBA history to score over 250 points, while shooting over 59 percent from the field overall and over 49 percent from 3-point range (min. 10 3-point attempts).”

– Josh Cohen (@Josh_Cohen_NBA) 27 February 2026

Cohen said Benn joins Kevin Johnson, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Karl-Anthony Towns and John Collins as the only players to accomplish the feat in February.

Desmond Benn’s historic February puts him in line with LeBron James, Kevin Durant

The milestone puts the Orlando Magic guard alongside two of the most prolific scorers of the modern era in LeBron James and Kevin Durant, underscoring the efficiency of Bane’s month-long span. Durant, who powered Houston in Thursday’s matchup, scored 40 points with eight rebounds, three assists and two steals. He made 14 of 28 shots from the field and converted all 10 of his free throws in 40 minutes.

In 11 games in February, Ben has averaged 24.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals per contest. He is shooting 59.1% from the field and 49.3% from 3-point range during that span, while logging 33.9 minutes per game. His 84.3% mark from the free-throw line reflects the scoring balance that has fueled Orlando’s offense all month.

On the season, the 27-year-old guard is averaging 20.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists while shooting 48.6% from the field and 39.1% from beyond the arc in 58 games. He is converting a career-high 91.4% of his free-throw attempts in 34.1 minutes per night.

Despite Benn’s efficiency, Orlando couldn’t stop Houston’s late push. The loss dropped the Magic to 31–27 as they continued a four-game homestand.

The Magic will try to regroup on Sunday when they host the NBA’s top team Detroit Pistons (43-14) at 6:00 pm ET. While there was a setback against Houston, Benn’s historic February production places him among elite company and provides Orlando a steady offensive anchor heading into the final stretch of the regular season.

Whether it’s a corporate leather-ball tournament or a weekend tennis-ball match, digitalization ensures that every run, wicket, and maiden over is archived forever.

Using a cricket scoring app like CricHeroes allows players to move beyond manual errors. It provides a professional experience to amateur cricketers, making them feel like international stars with detailed scorecards and wagon wheels.

Key Features of CricHeroes for Indian Cricketers

Gophers Women’s Hockey Stats: The Incredible 17-Goal Surge at East/West Showcase

The University of Minnesota Golden Gophers women’s ice hockey team has once again proven why they are a perennial powerhouse in the NCAA. In a stunning display of offensive fire-power, the Gophers lit up the scoreboard at the recent East/West Showcase, recording an aggregate of 17 goals across the weekend. For Indian sports enthusiasts following global hockey trends, the Gophers’ performance offers a masterclass in clinical finishing and tactical dominance.

Dominating the Rink: A Weekend to Remember

The East/West Showcase is designed to pit the best teams from the eastern and western conferences against each other. This year, the Gophers took this challenge to a new level. The 17-goal surge wasn’t just a result of luck; it was a product of high-pressing play, superior puck possession, and a “shoot-first” mentality that left their opponents’ goaltenders reeling.

While ice hockey is still growing in popularity in India, the sheer statistics of this weekend are hard to ignore. Averaging over 8 goals per game in a high-stakes tournament is a rare feat that highlights the depth of the Minnesota roster.

Detailed Hockey Scores and Breakdown

The weekend was divided into two major matchups that defined the offensive explosion:

• Game 1: Minnesota vs. East Coast Rival – The Gophers started strong, securing a massive 8-goal victory. The scoring was spread across all four lines, showing that the team doesn’t rely on just one superstar.
• Game 2: Minnesota vs. Top-Ranked Opponent – In what was expected to be a tighter affair, the Gophers doubled down and netted 9 goals, concluding the showcase with a historic 17-goal total.

Key players like Abbey Murphy and Josefin Bouveng were instrumental in this surge. Their ability to convert power-play opportunities into goals was a primary driver behind these massive scores.

Key Stats from the Showcase

To understand the magnitude of this performance, let’s look at the numbers beyond the final scores:

• Total Goals: 17
• Power Play Conversion Rate: Over 45% efficiency.
• Shots on Goal: The Gophers averaged 42 shots per game.
• Goaltending: While the offense stole the show, the defense only conceded 3 goals all weekend.

Conclusion

The Gophers’ 17-goal surge at the East/West Showcase is a loud statement to the rest of the WCHA (Western Collegiate Hockey Association). For fans in India who admire the speed of field hockey, the Gophers’ ice hockey performance provides a fascinating parallel of agility and precision. As the season progresses, this offensive momentum will be crucial in their hunt for another National Championship. This weekend wasn’t just about winning; it was about setting a standard of excellence that few teams can match.

The University of Minnesota Women’s Hockey team finished the weekend with seven goal victories over Merrimack and University of New Hampshire at the East/West Showcase in Minneapolis.

Messi vs Prime Kaka: Who Was Better? Comparison & Stats for Indian Fans

For football fans in India, the mid-2000s to the 2010s represented a golden era of European football broadcasting. While Lionel Messi eventually became a household name across the subcontinent, older enthusiasts often reminisce about the sheer elegance of Ricardo Kaka during his “Prime” years at AC Milan. But the question remains: When standing toe-to-toe, who was truly better?

The Peak of Prime Kaka (2006–2007)

To compare Kaka with Messi, one must look at Kaka’s peak between 2006 and 2007. This was the era before the “Messi-Ronaldo” duopoly took over the world. Kaka was a physical marvel—a combination of lightning pace, delicate ball control, and clinical finishing.

Indian fans who stayed up late to watch the UEFA Champions League will never forget Kaka’s iconic performance against Manchester United in 2007. He was the last human to win the Ballon d’Or (2007) before Messi and Ronaldo began their decade-long dominance. At his peak, Kaka didn’t just play football; he glided past defenders with a grace that few have ever matched.

The Consistency of Lionel Messi

While Kaka’s “prime” was a dazzling meteor, Lionel Messi’s career is a sustained supernova. Messi’s stats are objectively superior in almost every category. Whether it is the record 91 goals in a calendar year (2012) or his eight Ballon d’Or trophies, Messi redefined the limits of what a footballer can achieve.

For the millions of “Culés” in India, Messi represents the ultimate playmaker and goalscorer rolled into one. Unlike Kaka, who relied heavily on his explosive pace—which dwindled after knee injuries—Messi adapted his game to remain the world’s best for nearly 20 years.

Head-to-Head Stats & Impact

The “Indian Fan” Perspective

In India, the debate often boils down to nostalgia vs. longevity. Kaka is the “romantic” choice—the classic No. 10 who played with a smile and incredible sportsmanship. Messi is the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) choice—the player who dominated every statistic and finally conquered the world in Qatar 2022, a moment celebrated with firecrackers from Kolkata to Kerala.

Conclusion: Who Was Better?

If we are talking about a single season, 2007 Kaka was arguably as unplayable as any version of Messi. He possessed a unique physical power that Messi lacked. However, football is a game of longevity and evolution. Lionel Messi is the better player because he maintained Kaka’s “peak” level for nearly two decades. While Kaka was a phenomenon, Messi is the blueprint for footballing perfection.

Olympic Hockey History & Stats: A Comprehensive Guide to NHL and International Records

Ice hockey and field hockey have long been pillars of the Olympic Games, capturing the imaginations of sports fans across the globe. For Indian sports enthusiasts, the word “Olympic Hockey” often invokes the golden era of Dhyan Chand. However, on the global winter stage, Ice Hockey holds a similar prestige, defined by high-speed action and the involvement of NHL superstars. In this guide, we dive into the evolution of Olympic hockey, key stats, and the impact of professional players on the world stage.

The Evolution of Olympic Hockey

While Field Hockey has been a mainstay in the Summer Olympics since 1908 (with India famously winning 8 gold medals), Ice Hockey made its debut at the 1920 Summer Olympics before moving to the inaugural Winter Games in 1924.

Initially, the tournament was dominated by Canada, but the Cold War era saw the rise of the Soviet Union’s “Red Machine.” For decades, the Olympics were strictly for amateur players. This led to the famous 1980 “Miracle on Ice,” where a group of American college students defeated the seasoned Soviet professionals.

The NHL Era: Bringing the Pros to the Ice

A pivotal moment in Olympic history occurred in 1998 at the Nagano Games, when the National Hockey League (NHL) allowed its players to participate for the first time. This transition shifted the Olympics from an amateur showcase to a “Best-on-Best” international spectacle.

• Nagano 1998: The Czech Republic, led by Dominik Hašek, won gold, proving that NHL participation leveled the playing field.
• Top Performers: NHL legends like Teemu Selänne (Finland) hold the record for most career points in the Olympics (43 points).
• Recent Trends: The NHL did not participate in 2018 or 2022 due to scheduling and health concerns, but fans are eagerly awaiting their return in 2026.

Key International Records & Statistics

Understanding the stats helps appreciate the dominance of certain nations. In Ice Hockey, the “Big Six” (Canada, USA, Russia, Sweden, Finland, and the Czech Republic) have historically dominated the podium.

The Transition of Talent: NHL vs. International Play

The style of play often differs between the NHL and the Olympics. Olympic rinks are traditionally larger (International size) compared to the narrower NHL rinks. This favors skaters with high speed and technical passing over physical “grinding” play. However, in recent years, many Olympic venues have adopted NHL-sized rinks to accommodate professional stars.

Conclusion

Olympic hockey serves as the ultimate bridge between domestic professional leagues like the NHL and national pride. Whether it is the tactical brilliance of Field Hockey where India is finding its resurgence, or the lightning-fast intensity of Ice Hockey, the Olympic records tell stories of grit, national identity, and athletic excellence. As we look toward future games, the potential return of NHL players promises to add another thrilling chapter to this storied history.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Which country has the most medals in Ice Hockey?

Canada holds the record for the most gold medals in Men’s Ice Hockey (9), while the USA and Canada have been the dominant forces in the Women’s category since its introduction in 1998.

2. When did NHL players first play in the Olympics?

NHL players first participated in the Winter Olympics during the 1998 Nagano Games in Japan.

3. Does India participate in Olympic Ice Hockey?

Currently, India participates primarily in Field Hockey at the Summer Olympics. While India has a national Ice Hockey team, they have not yet qualified for the Winter Olympic Games.

4. Who is the highest scorer in Olympic Ice Hockey history?

Teemu Selänne of Finland holds the record for the most points in Olympic history, with 43 points across six Olympic appearances.

5. Will NHL players be in the 2026 Olympics?

Yes, the NHL, NHLPA, and the IIHF have reached an agreement for NHL players to return to the Winter Olympics in 2026 (Milan Cortina) and 2030.

Cameron Green: Stats, IPL Price, Height, and Cricket Career Profile

In the modern era of cricket, few players have generated as much excitement as Australian sensation Cameron Green. A towering presence on the field, Green has quickly established himself as a world-class all-rounder, becoming a vital asset for both the Australian national team and his IPL franchises. For Indian fans who follow every cricket score and IPL auction closely, Green is a name that represents power, precision, and immense potential.

The Physical Marvel: Height and Build

One of the first things fans notice about Cameron Green is his imposing physical stature. Standing at 198 cm (approx. 6 feet 6 inches), he is one of the tallest active cricketers in the world. This height gives him a significant advantage, allowing him to extract steep bounce on any surface as a fast bowler and providing a massive reach while batting.

IPL Price and Impact: From MI to RCB

Cameron Green’s introduction to the Indian Premier League (IPL) was nothing short of historic. In the 2023 IPL Auction, Mumbai Indians (MI) secured his services for a staggering INR 17.50 crore, making him one of the most expensive players in the tournament’s history. He justified the price tag by scoring a brilliant century against SRH to lead MI into the playoffs.

Ahead of the 2024 season, in a high-profile “all-cash” trade, Green was moved to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). His presence in the RCB middle order provides the much-needed balance that the team has sought for years, making him a fan favorite at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Cricket Career and Stats: A Balanced Profile

Green’s career began as a bowling prodigy for Western Australia, but he soon evolved into a top-tier batter. His ability to anchor an innings and shift gears effortlessly makes him a multi-format threat.

Cameron Green Career Stats (Highlights)

Playing Style: The Ultimate All-Rounder

As a batter, Green is known for his classic technique and the ability to clear the boundary with ease. As a bowler, he consistently clocks speeds of 140+ kmph, making him a genuine pace threat. His fielding is equally impressive; his massive wingspan makes him one of the best gully fielders in the world, often turning half-chances into stunning catches.

Conclusion

Cameron Green is a rare talent who bridges the gap between a specialist batter and a frontline fast bowler. Whether it is turning a match with a quick-fire fifty or breaking a crucial partnership, he remains a key figure in every cricket score update. As he continues to grow, particularly under the intense spotlight of the IPL, Green is well on his way to becoming one of the greatest all-rounders the game has ever seen.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi Biography: The Rise of India’s Youngest Cricket Prodigy

In the vast landscape of Indian cricket, where talent emerges from every corner, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has carved a niche as one of the most promising left-handed batters of the modern era. His journey from the dusty grounds of Bihar to the glitzy auctions of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is nothing short of a fairy tale. Between 2017 and 2025, Vaibhav has transformed from a child prodigy into a professional cricketer breaking age-old records.

Early Life and Initial Cricketing Roots (2017-2022)

Born on March 27, 2011, in Tajpur village, Samastipur, Bihar, Vaibhav’s tryst with the willow began at the tender age of six. Under the guidance of his father, Sanjeev Suryavanshi, who recognized his son’s natural flair for timing, Vaibhav started formal training in 2017. By 2022, his name was already circulating in Bihar’s local circuits as a “miracle boy” who could dominate bowlers twice his age.

The Professional Breakthrough (2023-2024)

The year 2024 marked a historic milestone for Vaibhav. At just 12 years and 284 days, he made his first-class debut for Bihar in the Ranji Trophy against Mumbai. This feat made him one of the youngest players in the history of Indian domestic cricket, drawing comparisons to legends like Sachin Tendulkar.

His prowess wasn’t limited to red-ball cricket. Representing India U-19 against Australia U-19 in September 2024, Vaibhav smashed a blistering century off just 58 balls. This knock solidified his reputation as a fearless opener capable of dismantling high-quality pace attacks.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi Stats and Records

Vaibhav’s statistics reflect a maturity far beyond his years. Here is a look at his key achievements up to 2025:

• Youngest Ranji Player: One of the youngest debutants in Ranji Trophy history (debuted 2024).
• U-19 Dominance: Fastest century for India U-19 in a youth Test match (58 balls).
• IPL 2025 Milestone: Became the youngest player ever to be bought in an IPL auction when Rajasthan Royals secured his services for INR 1.10 crore.

The IPL 2025 Auction Sensation

The cricketing world stood still during the IPL 2025 mega auction. At aged 13, Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest-ever player to enter the auction pool. His aggressive batting style and left-handed advantage sparked a bidding war, ultimately leading him to the Rajasthan Royals. This move is seen as a long-term investment by the franchise known for nurturing young Indian talent like Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Conclusion

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s journey from 2017 to 2025 is a testament to raw talent fueled by disciplined hard work. While his age brings immense media scrutiny, his bat continues to do the talking. As he steps into the world of the IPL and continues his domestic journey, the entire nation watches with bated breath. If he maintains his current trajectory, Vaibhav is not just a star for the future; he is a star for the present.

How Alex Eala is Conquering Global Tennis: Rankings, Stats & Family Roots

In the competitive world of professional tennis, a new star from the East is making waves. Alex Eala, the Filipino prodigy, is not just representing her country; she is becoming a symbol of Asian excellence on the global stage. For tennis enthusiasts in India, who have long cheered for icons like Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna, Eala’s journey offers a familiar narrative of grit, family values, and breaking barriers.

The Meteoric Rise: Rankings and Professional Milestone

Alex Eala’s transition from a junior sensation to a professional powerhouse has been nothing short of remarkable. Having reached a career-high ITF Junior Ranking of No. 2, she didn’t stop there. As of 2024, Eala has consistently climbed the WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) rankings, breaking into the Top 150—a feat rarely achieved by Southeast Asian athletes at such a young age.

Her stats tell a story of versatility. While many players struggle with the transition from clay to hard courts, Eala’s baseline aggression and tactical intelligence allow her to compete across surfaces. With multiple ITF singles and doubles titles under her belt, her win-loss record reflects a maturity far beyond her years.

The Rafael Nadal Academy Connection

A significant catalyst in her development has been her training at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Spain. Much like Indian youngsters who travel abroad to hone their skills, Eala’s stint at the academy has polished her left-handed game. Training in the same environment as the “King of Clay” has instilled in her a “never-say-die” attitude, which is evident in her grueling three-set victories against higher-ranked opponents.

Family Roots: The Foundation of Success

Behind every champion is a solid support system, and for Alex, it is her family roots. She comes from a lineage of athletes; her mother, Rizza Maniego-Eala, was a bronze medalist in swimming at the Southeast Asian Games. This sporting DNA, combined with her family’s choice to prioritize her education alongside tennis, mirrors the traditional Indian ethos of balancing academics and sports.

Her brother, Miko Eala, is also a collegiate tennis player, ensuring that the “Eala” name is synonymous with the sport. This strong family foundation provides her with the mental fortitude required to handle the loneliness of the pro tour.

Why Alex Eala Matters to Indian Tennis Fans

Who has the best NFL defense in 2022? Our weekly NFL defense rankings examine every unit across the league on a weekly basis to determine the best defenses in the NFL.

Bookmark this page throughout the 2022 NFL season for weekly analysis and previews of matchups for the top-20 teams.

Let’s dive into our NFL defense rankings 2022, reviewing how the top 20 teams performed in Week 13. We also have Week 14 NFL previews for some of the best defenses in football.

20. Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings ruined the feel-good story that was Mike White, picking him off twice and forcing him to a 6.5 ypa average on 57 attempts. Of course, the 120 rushing yards allowed to the New York Jets tied to Garrett Wilson’s big day (162 yards) highlights why Minnesota’s defense can’t be trusted in the playoffs.

Sunday’s matchup against the Detroit Lions isn’t a favorable one for Minnesota. We’ve written earlier this year that the Vikings’ secondary gets exposed when the pass rush doesn’t get home very quickly. Entering Week 14, Jared Goff averages one of the fastest average times to throw (2.4). But Detroit will also test Minnesota deep, with the third-most throws (43) of 20-plus yards.

19. Kansas City Chiefs

• Previously: No. 18 in NFL defense rankings

Perhaps Justin Reid and his teammates might want to spend a little more time studying film and learning about their opponents. Joe Burrow scored three total touchdowns and did an excellent job spreading the ball around, hitting eight different receivers. Kansas City also surrendered 106 rushing yards to backup running back Samaje Perine.

The good news for the Chiefs, it’s legitimately not worth watching the Broncos’ film on offense. Denver in arguably the worst offense in the NFL, with Wilson refusing to leaving the pocket and disastrous play-calling.

18. Los Angeles Rams

• Previously: No. 14 in NFL defense rankings

Take Aaron Donald off the field and the Rams’ secondary gets exposed. Geno Smith torched Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon, turning 28 completions into 367 yards and three touchdowns with a 116.1 QB rating. While the Las Vegas Raiders offense has had its share of issues this season, Davante Adams will roast this cornerback group. No Donald and a declining effort from the Rams’ defense is a recipe for a lot of blowups to close out the season.

17. Detroit Lions

• Previously: 20th in NFL defense rankings

From the worst defense in the NFL to the No.17 spot in the defensive rankings, it’s been quite the turnaround for the Detroit Lions. Young talents like Aidan Hutchinson and Kerby Joseph are starting to acclimate, playing massive roles in Detroit stiffening up against the pass. There are still plenty of mistakes made and quite a few holes to fill this offseason, but the improvement deserves national recognition.

• Detroit Lions defense (Week 9-13): 77.2 QB rating allowed, 7-7 TD-INT, 57.3% completion, 6.4 ypa, 11 sacks

With that said, we do anticipate Justin Jefferson giving Detroit a lot of problems. What this matchup comes down to is whether or not the Lions’ defensive front can get to Kirk Cousins early. If he’s uncomfortable and Detroit takes an early lead, its defense can bend its ears back and take advantage of the Achilles’ heel of Minnesota’s offense.

NFL defense stats – Best pass defenses in NFL

Here are the best NFL pass defenses entering Week 14, based on passing yards allowed per game, yards per attempt, average QB rating allowed and completion rating surrendered.

TEAM	Pass YPG	YPA	QB rating allowed	Completion Rate	DVOA
Dallas Cowboys	179.8	6.5	83.2	63.4%	-25.3%
Philadelphia Eagles	178.5	6.0	73.6	60.3%	-20.4%
Denver Broncos	184.5	5.9	78.5	63.2%	-14.2%
New York Jets	198.5	6.1	78.8	58.4%	-12.8%
New England Patriots	200.6	6.7	81.1	59.1%	-14.9%

16. Indianapolis Colts

• Previously: 10th in NFL defense rankings

We’ve returned to the version of the Indianapolis Colts defense when they are one of the worst run-stopping units in the NFL. Adding the 240-yard effort from the Dallas Cowboys to the equation, Indianapolis has now allowed 533 rushing yards, 5.2 yards per carry and seven rushing touchdowns in the last three games. For good measure, opponents have also averaged a 48.7% third-down conversion rate along with a 98.2 QB rating in that stretch. Maybe things change on the bye, but that would mean Gus Bradley is making adjustments and that seems unreasonable.

15. Carolina Panthers

• Previously: 16th in NFL defense rankings

Returning from the bye, the Carolina Panthers defense has held its last five opponents to 186.4 passing yards per game with 15 sacks, a 90.1 QB rating and a 7-4 TD-INT ratio and the average QB rating allowed drops to 86.9 over the last four weeks. This is a young defense with talent at all three levels and it should pose a credible challenge to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14.

14. Baltimore Ravens

• Previously: 17th in NFL defense rankings

It’s not difficult to find reasons to be optimistic about the Baltimore Ravens defense moving forward. Pro Bowl safety Marcus Williams is nearing a return and he is going to add some much-needed playmaking to the secondary. In addition, Baltimore has now allowed just 3.8 yards per rush and 82.5 rush ypg this season.

However, the worst offense in the NFL averaged 5.2 yards per play vs Baltimore and holding this unit to nine points doesn’t erase concerns with Baltimore’s defensive issues in the fourth quarter. Facing another soft matchup in Week 14, battling the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens’ defense will look better because of its opponent.

13. Pittsburgh Steelers

• Previously: 15th in NFL defense rankings

We didn’t anticipate the Atlanta Falcons’ offense providing us any answers regarding Pittsburgh’s secondary. Drake London (95 receiving yards on 12 targets) had a productive day, but Marcus Mariota isn’t nearly good enough to expose the faults on the Steelers’ defense. With Lamar Jackson uncertain for Week 14 and the Ravens’ offense an eyesore in recent weeks, the Steelers won’t face a legitimate challenger for several more weeks.

12. New Orleans Saints

• Previously: No. 13 in NFL defense rankings

It’s difficult to knock the New Orleans Saints defense for the loss on Monday Night Football. Midway through the fourth quarter, Dennis Allen’s group held Tom Brady to 120 total yards with two takeaways. The Saints’ offense put that all to waste and Brady engineered two touchdown drives covering 154 yards on 21 plays and only took less than five minutes off the clock.

Things will be much easier in Week 14. New Orleans – holding opponents to 187.1 pass ypg with an 86.0 QB rating in the last seven games – doesn’t have to worry about the Falcons throwing the ball effectively. However, this run defense is susceptible to some big games (553 yards allowed Week 9-11) and that bares monitoring against the Falcons’ strong ground game.

11. Cincinnati Bengals

• Previously: 12th in NFL defense rankings

The Cincinnati Bengals’ pass rush stepped up in a monumental way on Sunday, recording eight quarterback hits and even more pressures on Mahomes. It made the All-Pro quarterback uncomfortable enough to only complete 59% of his throws, stalling out multiple drives. Life should be quite a bit easier against a rusty Deshaun Watson in Week 14.

NFL defense stats – Best run defenses in NFL

Here are the best NFL run defenses in 2022, based on yards per carry, rushing yards per game, rushing touchdowns and run defense DVOA. NFL team defensive starts are prior to Week 14.

TEAM	Rush YPG	YPC	Rush TDs	EXP	DVOA
San Francisco 49ers	75.6	3.3	9	12.96	-24.7%
Tennessee Titans	83.1	3.8	5	10.23	-27%
Baltimore Ravens	82.5	3.8	9	10.21	-14.9%

NFL defensive rankings: Top 10 NFL defenses in 2022

10. Tennessee Titans

• Previously: No. 7 in NFL defense rankings

The results from Sunday shouldn’t be much of a surprise. With a banged-up defensive line, NFL MVP candidate Jalen Hurts and the Eagles’ receivers were going to expose Tennesse’s secondary. In the last three games, the Titans have now allowed an average 104.2 QB rating with a 6-0 TD-INT rate and 289 pass ypg. On the bright side, one of the NFL’s best run defenses held Philadelphia to 67 yards on 24 carries (2.8 ypc). Facing Jacksonville in Week 14, Tennessee should fare well against the Jaguars’ sporadic offense.

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

• Previously: No. 10 in NFL defense rankings

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wiped out the Saints’ run game (66 yards on 25 attempts) and forced Andy Dalton to make quick, accurate throws under pressure. It worked out nicely against one of the NFL’s worst offenses over the last month. Our concern is the run defense against the San Francisco 49ers. Tampa Bay has allowed 150-plus rushing yards five times this season, most recently on Nov. 27 against the Cleveland Browns. Brock Purdy won’t have to do anything if Shanahan’s scheme runs right through Tampa Bay.

8. Washington Commanders

• Previously: No. 9 in NFL defense rankings

As the Washington Commanders head into their bye week, fans can finally prepare for the return of Chase Young. When the former No. 2 pick rejoins the defense in Week 15, he’ll simply be strengthening a group responsible for 25 sacks with an average 82.6 QB rating, 5.9 ypa and a 34.3% third-down conversion rate surrendered in the last nine games. Two weeks to prepare for the New York Giants’ offense will make this a great streaming defense in Week 15.

7. Denver Broncos

• Previously: No. 8 in NFL defense rankings

The Denver Broncos have a playoff-caliber defense, it’s just being weighed down by an offense that looks like it belongs in the USFL. Denver held its opponent under 200 passing yards on Sunday, the eighth time it has accomplished that feat in 2022. Even with Bradley Chubb long gone, the Broncos’ secondary keeps showing out. With that said, the Chiefs’ offense is a different beast and Denver will join the long list of good defenses that struggled vs Mahomes.

NFL team defense stats – Best pass rush teams in NFL 2022

Here are the best pass-rushing teams in the NFL entering Week 12. Data will be updated after the conclusion of Monday Night Football.

1. Dallas Cowboys – 30.2% pressure rate (1st), 51% pass-rush win rate (2nd), 45 sacks
2. Philadelphia Eagles – 24.2% pressure rate (7th), 53% pass-rush win rate (1st), 36 sacks
3. New York Jets – 24.7% pressure rate (5th), 44% pass-rush win rate (10th), 34 sacks
4. New England Patriots – 27.5% pressure rate (2nd), 34% pass-rush win rate (28th), 37 sacks
5. Denver Broncos – 22.4% pressure rate (18th), 51% pass-rush win rate (2nd), 26 sacks

6. Buffalo Bills

• Previously: No. 6 in NFL defense rankings

There are positives to take away from the Buffalo Bills’ Thursday Night Football victory over the New England Patriots. Playing without Von Miller – out for at least a month – Buffalo held New England to 10 points, 242 total yards and a 25% third-down conversion rate. However, his was a short week against a below-average offense. We’re not really going to see Buffalo’s secondary and pass rush tested until it faces the Miami Dolphins on Dec. 18.

Top 5 defenses in NFL

5. New England Patriots

• Previously: No. 2 in NFL defense rankings

The last to games demonstrate why NFL defensive stats require context. While the New England Patriots defense ranked No. 1 in several categories, it was also a product of its schedule. In two games against the Bills and Minnesota Vikings, New England surrendered 524 passing yards, with a 5-1 TD-INT ratio, a 113.2 QB rating and its opponents combined for 57 points.

Considering the struggles vs Stefon Diggs and Justin Jefferson, we could see DeAndre Hopkins fare well in Week 14. Fortunately for New England’s defense, the Arizona Cardinals aren’t well-coached and Kyler Murray has regressed this season.

4. New York Jets

• Previously: No. 3 in NFL defense rankings

All things considered, the New York Jets proved on Sunday why they have one of the best pass defenses in the NFL. Justin Jefferson finished with 45 receiving yards on 11 targets and averaged under 6.5 yards per catch for only the second time this year. Ultimately, what cost New York was its low sack rate (5.4%) and allowing the Minnesota Vikings to convert 50% of their 18 third-down attempts. It doesn’t shake our confidence in one of the best NFL defenses this season, even with Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs looming.

3. Philadelphia Eagles

• Previously: No. 4 in NFL defense rankings

Our attention on Sunday focused on whether or not the Philadelphia Eagles could bottle up Derrick Henry. With Jordan Davis back, creating one of the deepest interior defensive lines in the NFL, Philadelphia held Henry to 30 yards on 11 carries. An inability to stop the run was our only small concern with Philadelphia’s defense. If we get a repeat performance vs Saquon Barkley, that remaining doubt will be erased.

2. Dallas Cowboys

• Previously: No.2 in NFL defense rankings

The Dallas Cowboys defense wasn’t flawless on Sunday Night Football, but Dan Quinn’s group flipped a switch late and it captures one of the best NFL defenses entering Week 14. In the past seven games, opponents are averaging just 169.9 pass ypg with a 33.7% third-down conversion rate and 28 sacks taken.

Now, we arrive at why the Dallas Cowboys are the No. 1 defense in Week 14 fantasy rankings. The Houston Texans offense is averaging just 173.5 passing yards and 75.2 rushing yards per game since Oct. 30. In that six-game stretch, Houston threw 10 interceptions and took 20 sacks. Guaranteeing a defensive touchdown feels wrong, but holding Houston to single-digit points with multiple turnovers and five-plus sacks, that is doable.

1. San Francisco 49ers

• Previously: No. 1 in NFL defense rankings

The San Francisco 49ers have the best defense in the NFL and Week 13 is the latest piece of evidence. Facing a Miami Dolphins that looked unstoppable, San Francisco recovered from the 75-yard touchdown it allowed to open the game by holding Miami to 233 total yards and 10 points on its final 44 plays. The Dolphins’ offense failed to convert any of their nine third-down attempts and Nick Bosa (three sacks) eviscerated the offensive line. With the defensive line healthy, San Francisco should feast vs Tom Brady in Week 15.
