16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 321.4 Total Yards Against

Speaking of the Buccaneers, they simply annihilated the Saints, leading to the benching of Spencer Rattler. However, in the past three games, the Saints have recorded 15 sacks, which does make me worried for Matt Stafford this week.

17. Las Vegas Raiders – 328.6 Total Yards Against

The Raiders defense has been the only thing that has kept them together, even after I thought they could have been one of the worst defenses this year. However, I was somewhat right since they still gave up a lot of points and looked helpless last week when the Chiefs scored 31 points on them.

18. New York Jets – 335.4 Total Yards Against

The Jets had a miraculous comeback last week against the Bengals, who scored 38 points against them last week. That’s more than their previous two games, in which they only gave up 26 points.

19. Arizona Cardinals – 335.7 Total Yards Against

The Cardinals are like a pesky fly to this list. They do enough to stay relevant but also enough to hover around at the bottom. This week, they get the Cowboys, who are ready to bring the pain after getting shut down against the Broncos.

20. Philadelphia Eagles – 336.3 Total Yards Against

The Eagles are still a great team, and now that they’re getting healthier on defense, they should start rising on this list. After sacking the Giants five times, they’ve earned a much-needed bye. There are also Myles Garrett trade rumors that mention the Eagles prominently. That could really shoot them up in these power rankings.
