17. San Francisco 49ers – 332.6 Total Yards Against:
The Niners have the Rams traveling from across the bay to Clash in another epic NFC West game. They haven’t been defensively sound recently since their game against the Falcons by giving up 50 points in the past two games.
18. New Orleans Saints – 333.3 Total Yards Against:
It’s funny to see the Saints ranked anywhere but their defense deserves some kudos for what the offense has done to them. This week, they’ll have the Panthers in what should be a low-scoring game in Carolina.
19. Las Vegas Raiders – 333.4 Total Yards Against:
The Raiders defense has had to put up with bad field position for most of the year due to the play of Geno Smith and some injuries to the offense. They’d better shape up quickly because they’ll be heading to Denver this week to play the Broncos.
20. New York Jets – 335.4 Total Yards Against:
This may be the last time the Jets make the top 20 defenses after trading away Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams. However, if they can get help from their offense, they have a chance to stay relevant against the Browns.
