16. New York Jets: 326.4 Total Yards Against

 This week has been a train wreck for the Jets, even though they’re finally getting some players back from injury. However, after Woody Johnson’s comments, it makes you wonder if anyone wants to play for this team.

17. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 328 Total Yards Against

After losing to the Lions, the Buccaneers slipped a little after Jared Goff laid the hammer down on them. This week, they get a better matchup against the Saints.

18. Las Vegas Raiders: 328.6 Total Yards Against

The Raiders got shut out against the Chiefs, but at least they get to lick their wounds this week because they’re off. When they come back for week nine, they’ll be facing the Jaguars, who are a complete mess like them.

19. New Orleans Saints: 335.7 Total Yards Against

 The Saints are in the middle of a lot of trade rumors right now, with Alvin Kamara’s name being thrown around like some bad jumbo. However, the defense has done its best this season despite getting very little help from the offense.

20. Arizona Cardinals: 335.7 Total Yards Against

 The Cardinals finish off the list this week at 20 after fighting tooth and nail to stay on this list. The Cardinals defense has been good this year, but they could definitely use some help on the backend since they can’t stop a nose bleed in the secondary.
