5. Green Bay Packers – 287.2 Total Yards Against

The Packers have been in some very hard games recently, with all three opponents being divisional foes. This week, they’ll be in Denver to face the Broncos in what should be one of the slowest-moving games this week.

4. Los Angeles Chargers – 282.2 Total Yards Against

The Chargers went to Philly and forced the Eagles into five turnovers, in which four were interceptions. This week, they’ll be in Kansas City facing the Chiefs, who are desperate for a win. With the playoffs on the line, you can expect this game to be another slobberknocker.

3. Denver Broncos – 282 – Total Yards Against

The Broncos have one of the best defenses in the NFL, and it shows in how many times they’ve had to nail the offense out this season. With the Packers next up, you can expect this game to be full of big hits and plenty of sacks.

2. Cleveland Browns – 272.8 Total Yards Against

The Browns finally let Shadeur Sanders free, and it has finally paid off with some rest for the defense. However, since their 10 sack game against the Raiders, they have only recorded two sacks, which they’ll need to get back to if they’re going to slow down the Bears offense.

1. Houston Texans – 266.3 Total Yards Against

The Texans have been the number one defense by a landslide this season, and it showed against the Chiefs. They sacked Patrick Mahomes two times and hurried him into three interceptions, which sealed the deal for the win. This week, they face the Cardinals, who shouldn’t pose a threat to a defense like this.
