Stat question - Passes broken-up and passes defended

I think broken up is when you actually knock the ball away
Passes defensed means they were not completed on your coverage

Broken up = Passes broken up by the defender, but not intercepted

Defensed = Passes broken up by the defender and intercepted

I guess that's what I thought it might be.

If that's what it is, PD is a very subjective stat then. An incomplete pass can be caused by many things - QB accuracy, receiver's ability, weather, tight defense making QB throw where catch is difficult, etc.).

Whatever the case may be, PPs stats show that we would be in big trouble if not for him. He has probably made a 2 or 3 game difference in our record mostly by himself.
