Total yards allowed doesn’t seem as useful to me as average per game. Total yards may be inflated by playing an additional game or one bad game, for example if a key player is dinged up badly enough to be out for a week.I'm talking yards allowed
but I’d like to take a deeper look, what site do you prefer as a source? Can they show historical rankings, like where Cleveland ranked before the Pats rolled over them for 184 yards?
EDIT to add: ESPN has CLE eighth (not ninth!) in total rushing yards allowed, with 947 total over ten games. Last week the Pats ran for 184 yards against them. If you back out that anomaly and replace it with their average rushing yards per game allowed (94.7) they would rank fifth. One bad game. Or one good opponent. Made a big difference either way. That’s why I said the average per game is a better measure.
