It’s that time of the week when we look at which defenses stepped up and which others fell after week 8 in the NFL. That means we could have some new teams on this list, so let’s get to this week’s top defenses in the NFL. Have a great day, everyone, and may the tackles be with you.
Week 12 NFL Power Rankings: Defense
20. New York Jets – 329.7 Total Yards Against
The Jets start off this week’s article by staying in the top 20 defenses in the NFL. Unfortunately, they’ll be heading to Baltimore to play the Ravens, who should easily win this game.
19. Indianapolis Colts – 327.6 Total Yards Against
The Colts enjoyed their bye week, but now they have to face the league’s goat this week. That means they’ll be facing Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, who were just punked by the Broncos last week.
18. Las Vegas Raiders – 326.8 Total Yards Against
The Raiders come into this week positive after getting whooped by the Cowboys last week. With the Browns coming to Las Vegas, Maxx Crosby and the Raiders are licking their chops, ready to dominate whichever rookie quarterback they run out there.
17. Philadelphia Eagles – 326.8 Total Yards Against
The Eagles have a huge divisional matchup against the Cowboys, who practically can score at will. That means the Eagles are going to have to generate a pass rush this week, or Dak Prescott will slice them up.
