15. Detroit Lions – 321.6 Total Yards Against

The Lions found themselves in a shootout last week against the Cowboys, but still recorded five sacks and three turnovers. This week, they face the Rams in what could become the game of the year, with how these two teams move the ball on offense.

14. Atlanta Falcons – 323.6 Total Yards Against

The Falcons found out why the Seahawks are one of the best teams in the league by giving up 37 points to the NFC West juggernaut. This week, they edged out the Buccaneers, a crucial division loss for the Bucs.

13. Los Angeles Rams – 315 Total Yards Against

The Rams simply handled business against the Cardinals by locking them up and running over them on offense. This week won’t be as easy since Jared Goff and the Lions are coming to Los Angeles.

12. New Orleans Saints – 313.5 Total Yards Against

The Saints continue to surprise us on defense, which is sad since their offense can’t be consistent. They will face the Panthers, who they shut down in week 10 by holding them to seven points.

11. Jacksonville Jaguars – 310.4 Total Yards Against

The Jaguars had it easy against the Colts last week, who could only score 19 points after losing quarterback Daniel Jones for the year, during the game. They’ll play the Jets this week, who are about as scary as the abominable snowman in Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, once his tooth was removed.
