NFL Defense Power Rankings

NFL Power Rankings: Top 20 Defenses

11. New England Patriots: 312.9 Total Yards Against

The Patriots started out sluggish last week before they powered themselves past the Titans. This week, they’ll be facing the number one defense in the Browns, so you can bet it’s going to be a low-scoring game.

12. Los Angeles Rams: 314.1 Total Yards Against

 The Rams are another team that needed a bye, and they got one this week. After going across the pond and waxing the Jaguars, they practically get another bye week when the Saints come to Los Angeles.

13. Los Angeles Chargers: 315.9 Total Yards Against

The Chargers have been up and down defensively, but are currently on a bit of a slide. However, with the Vikings coming to Tinseltown, you can expect them to lock horns with another team that’s desperate for some wins, just like them.

14. San Francisco 49ers: 317.4 Total Yards Against

The Niners are heading to Houston this week to face the incompetent Texans for week 8. After shutting down the Falcons last week, they’re looking to take advantage of the bad quarterback play of Michael Penix by recording their first interception of the year.

15. Buffalo Bills: 323.5 Total Yards Against

 The Bills face the Panthers this week, who will be without their starting quarterback, Bryce Young. With the Red Rocket manning the snaps, you can expect the Bills to have an easy day against Andy Dalton.
