16. Las Vegas Raiders – 323.3 Total Yards Against

Every week, the Raiders defense plays hard because on offense, there are only two players worth talking about. The Broncos are next up for the Raiders, who should finally get put down for the year. What a waste of talent Las Vegas has become.

15. Atlanta Falcons – 321.6 Total Yards Against

The Falcons defense had one of their worst weeks in weeks against the Jets last week, with only two sacks. This week, they have the hungry Seahawks coming to town in what should be a defensive game.

14. Detroit Lions – 321.6 Total Yards Against

The Lions got dismantled by the Packers and are watching their playoff chances fade right before their eyes. This week, they beat the Cowboys on Thursday Night Football, which was a pivotal game for both teams.

13. Los Angeles Rams – 315.1 Total Yards Against

The Rams thought they were going to go into Carolina and beat the Panthers easily, but that quickly evaporated when they lost by turning over the ball consistently. This week, the Rams play the Cardinals, who are about to catch an old-school whipping.
