Ranking top 5 NFL defenses heading into Week 10 | NFL 2021-22 season

Top 3 defenses for Week 10

Which defense has taken the #1 spot?

#3 - Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams have fallen a bit in this week's rankings, but that doesn't mean the group is not stellar. The Rams defense was strong to begin with, but now they finally get to see what paying for Von Miller can do to bolster their pass rush even more.

Von Miller is a Pro Bowl talent who has already accounted for 4.5 sacks this season. Pair that with Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey, and this unit becomes one of the scariest in the league. A tough loss against the Titans will have the Rams defense retooling itself so as not to lose another crucial game.

#2 - Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals defense continues to be one of the best units in the league, led by talents like Chandler Jones and emerging sack monster Markus Golden. The Arizona Defense is currently 4th in yards allowed per game with 321 yards. They are also 3rd in the league for points allowed with 17.2

Simply put, this defense is on fire and has been since the start of the season. The Cardinals are 8-1 and have shut down the 49ers' offense power, even with Jimmy Garoppolo being a great fantasy quarterback in the past two weeks. The Cardinals defense gets scarier by the week and will have no problem carrying the team through the playoffs.

#1 - Buffalo Bills

In one of the strangest upsets of the entire 2021 season, the Bills lost to the Jaguars. Although the embarrassing loss will likely not be replicated, the Bills' defense still held the Jaguars to a mere nine points.

The Bills defense still holds the top spot in yards allowed per game with 262.6 yards and points per game with 14.8 points. Whatever happened to the Bills offense in the Week 9 loss needs to be corrected because this defense will continue to be dominant every single week.
