4. Los Angeles Chargers – 286.1 Total Yards Against
The Chargers were shut down and could do nothing right against the Jaguars, who scored 35 points on them last week. This week, they get to charge their batteries for their bye week while they get ready for the Raiders in week 13.
3. Denver Broncos – 274.4 Total Yards Against
The Broncos were all over Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs last week as they held them to 19 points in their win. They have a bye week this week and will face the Commanders in week 13, in what should be another win for the division-leading Broncos.
2. Cleveland Browns – 273.5 Total Yards Against
The only thing Browns fans can hang their hats on is their defense. In the two games before their bye week, and in the two games afterwards, the Browns have recorded 18 sacks, which has their opponents scared when they step on the field. They’ll be playing the Raiders this week, which should add some more sacks to that total since the Raiders simply suck because of how bad Geno Smith has played this year.
1. Houston Texans – 258.1 Total Yards Against
The number one defense in the NFL still resides in Houston, as the Texans have shown that they can stop any offense. Since their bye week five weeks ago, the Texans have recorded 13 sacks, five fumble recoveries, and five interceptions. Those types of numbers are phenomenal, and that’s why the Texans have been the best defense in the NFL for most of the year.
