13. Carolina Panthers – 316.6 Total Yards Against:
The Panthers defense goes up and down each week. This week, they shouldn’t have a problem with the Saints since their team is rarely consistent at best.
14. Minnesota Vikings – 316.8 Total Yards Against:
Even after giving up 83 points in the past three weeks, the Vikings are still in the top half of the league for defense. This week, they’ll have a giant task on hand in slowing down Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 321.4 Total Yards Against:
The Buccaneers find themselves in a lot of high-scoring games, but they still find a way to be relevant defensively. Before their bye week, the Buccaneers annihilated the Saints, which earned them some free time to rest as well.
16. Indianapolis Colts – 331.8 Total Yards Against:
The Colts are coming off a forgettable performance against the Steelers, who shut down Jonathan Taylor and their offense. This week, they get the Falcons, who not only have a good defense but have one of the best players in the NFL in Bijan Robinson. The Colts defense just got a lot better with the trade for Sauce Gardner.
