12. Detroit Lions – 316.2 Total Yards Against

The Lions were manhandled by the Giants in Week 12 and did nothing defensively while giving up 27 points. They lost to the Packers on Thanksgiving, in a game they really needed to win.

11. New Orleans Saints – 316.1 Total Yards Against

Here’s another team that only had one leg to stand on when it comes to how they play in the NFL. The Saints always try to stay in the game, and maybe they’ll get lucky against the Dolphins this week, since at times they are also a streaky team that isn’t really playing for anything this season.

10. Minnesota Vikings – 314.8 Total Yards Against

It is rumored that J.J. McCarthy may not play this week, which will put a lot on the Vikings defense in Week 13. That doesn’t bode well for them since the Seahawks will be looking to keep up with the Rams in their division.

9. Los Angeles Rams – 311.2 Total Yards Against

Speaking of the NFL’s best team, the Rams destroyed the Buccaneers in Week 12. This week, they get to face the Panthers, who should be no threat for one of the league’s most explosive offenses.
