16. Carolina Panthers – 323.7 Total Yards Against

The Panthers defense has done the best they could so far this season, with the offense being inept at times. This week, they’ll be taking on the Falcons, who are still trying to get the nightmare of Jonathan Taylor out of their heads.


Could Colts’ star running back Jonathan Taylor be one of the top 15 running backs of all time?


15. Las Vegas Raiders – 320.8 Total Yards Against

If the Raiders were looking for a break after their boring game against the Broncos, they’ll be sad to know that isn’t happening any time soon. With the Cowboys coming to Vegas this week, you can bet that they’ll be running all over the place.

14. Buffalo Bills – 317.8 Total Yards Against

The Bills defense came unhinged last week as the Dolphins proved they lay down for no team. After giving up 51 points in the past two games, it’s not going to get any easier when they play the Buccaneers this week.

13. New Orleans Saints – 317.5 Total Yards Against

After a great game against the Panthers, the Saints are ready to go marching home for their bye week. That’s where they’ll stay for week 12 when the Falcons come to town for a tough divisional game.
