Defenses to target

The Seattle Seahawks have one of the most feared defenses in the NFL. They are physical, aggressive, and have a reputation for being tough to score on. The Seahawks are led by their “Legion of Boom” secondary, which is made up of four Pro Bowlers: cornerback Richard Sherman, safety Earl Thomas, safety Kam Chancellor, and cornerback Brandon Browner. The Seahawks also have a very good front seven, led by defensive end Cliff Avril and linebacker Bobby Wagner.
Denver Broncos

New England Patriots
The New England Patriots have always been known for their stingy defense. Under Bill Belichick, the Patriots have been one of the top defenses in the NFL year in and year out. The Patriots Defense is now lead by Defensive Coordinator Matt Patricia. The Patriots run a 4-3 defense, but they are multiple in their looks and disguise their coverages well.

The Patriots typically play with 5 or 6 defensive backs on the field which gives them good depth and allows them to matchup well with opposing offenses.

Green Bay Packers
Green Bay’s defense is anchored by two of the best players in the NFL: defensive end Za’Darius Smith and linebacker Preston Smith. Both players had double-digit sacks last season and are among the best at their positions. The Packers also added edge rusher Rashan Gary in the first round of this year’s NFL draft.

sleeper defenses
Do you want to know who the best defenses are in the NFL? Well, you’re in for a treat. In this article, we’ll be discussing the top sleeper defenses in the NFL. You may be surprised at who makes the list.
Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions have one of the best defenses in the NFL. They are led by defensive end Ezekiel Ansah, who is one of the best pass rushers in the league. The Lions also have a good secondary, led by cornerback Darius Slay. They have a good front seven, led by linebacker DeAndre Levy. The Lions are a well-rounded defense that can stop the run and the pass.
Houston Texans
The Houston Texans have long been one of the best defenses in the NFL.
Led by All-Pro defensive end J.J. Watt, the Texans have been a top-10 defense in each of the past five seasons. In that span, they’ve finished first in defensive DVOA four times and second once. They’ve also been a top-10 defense in terms of points allowed in four of those five seasons.
The Texans’ success on defense starts with Watt, who is perhaps the best all-around defensive player in the NFL. Watt is an elite pass-rusher and run-defender, and he also does a great job of batted passes (he has 15 career). In addition to Watt, the Texans have a number of other good players on defense, including linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, defensive end Whitney Mercilus, and cornerback Johnathan Joseph.
The Texans’ defense took a bit of a step back last season, as they finished 12th in DVOA (down from fourth in 2018). However, they still finished ninth in points allowed per game (19.6).
The Texans should once again be one of the best defenses in the NFL in 2020. With Watt and Clowney leading the way, they have the potential to be one of the best pass-rushing teams in the league. They also have a number of solid players in their secondary, led by Joseph. If their young linebackers can take a step forward, this could be one of the best defenses in football.
Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals have a solid defense, led by Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson. The unit also features playmakers such as outside linebacker Chandler Jones, who had a team-high 11 sacks last season, and safety Tyrann Mathieu, who is always a threat to make a big play.
