DEFENSE updated rankings
9. Kansas City Chiefs (LW: 10) a 3rd ranked offense and 9th ranked defnse is Champiuonship rankings
NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs
The second-half turnaround from the Kansas City Chiefs defense is incredible. From Week 1-7, opponents averaged 275.7 passing yards and 128.9 rushing yards per game, all while converting 48/7% of their third-down attempts. We?ve seen a completely different unit ever since. From Week 8-16, Kansas City is holding opponents to 219.4 passing yards 105.8 rushing yards and a 31.4% third-down conversion rate per game. If this group shuts down Joe Burrow in Week 17, it will warrant a much higher spot in our final NFL defense rankings for the regular season.
7. Green Bay Packers (LW: 5) Again reminding they play Vikings this week final game is at LIONS so these rankings will improve but slipping from 5th to 7th is a concern for me games against Ravens 30 points and browns scored 22 at GB
NOT good at all and at Bottom low ranked SOS now
On the surface, recording five sacks and snagging four interceptions seems worthy of moving up our NFL defense rankings. But there are real problems in Wisconsin, The Green Bay Packers benefited from two missed DPI calls that resulted in interceptions and the Browns erupted for 219 rushing yards, averaging 8.8 yards per carry. With opponents averaging 6.74 ypc with 499 rushing yards in the last three games, that?s an alarming flaw for a Super Bowl contender.
NFL Week 17 Defense Rankings https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-17-defense-rankings-2021
1. Buffalo Bills (No Change) LOST to BUCCANEERS
Even the loss of Tre?Davious White ? Buffalo's best cornerback ? can?t slow down the dominance of the Bills' defense. The unit proved against New England in Week 16 that they can stop the run well enough to make it a balanced game, and they are elite when that happens. No defense in the league allows scoring drives at a lower rate than the Bills (28.7%), and they are doing that without a whole collection of players grading at an elite level. Safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde are the highest-graded members of the defense, and neither carries an overall PFF grade higher than 85.0.
2. New England Patriots (Up 1) LOST to BUCCANEERS
The Patriots are coming off consecutive losses in which their opposition put up some points, but even in those games, the defense wasn?t overwhelmed as much as it failed to make stops in key situations. Only the Saints have allowed a touchdown drive at a lower rate than the Patriots this season (17.1%). Rookie Christian Barmore has already racked up 42 total pressures, the third-most among first-year players.
3. Dallas Cowboys (Up 13) LOST to BUCCANERS
At some point, it?s time to accept that the Dallas defense isn?t just vastly improved from a year ago, but it?s actually one of the best in the NFL, driven by elite performances from several key players. Rookie Micah Parsons is one of the best defenders in the game already, and at multiple positions. Parsons has 60 total pressures despite playing as an off-the-ball linebacker most of the time.
Cornerback Trevon Diggs may not be quite as good as his league-leading interception total suggests, but those picks are the most valuable plays a defense can generate outside of also scoring on the turnover. No defense has forced more turnovers than Dallas.LOST to BUCCANEERS and hardknocks featured team
8. Kansas City Chiefs (Up 13)
How good Kansas City?s offense is remains somewhat up in the air, but there's little doubt that their defense is cooking at this stage. A game against Cincinnati?s high-flying offense this week may propel them even further up the rankings. Chris Jones aligned back inside is a wrecking ball, amassing 58 pressures this season. Frank Clark has his highest PFF pass-rushing grade (69.9) since 2018, and Melvin Ingram has accrued multiple pressures in every game since the team acquired him from Pittsburgh. The Chiefs allowed over 17 points just once in their past eight games, and that came against Justin Herbert and the Chargers.
Packers vs Chiefs in SB +145
and WE had this matchup in KC earlier but without rodgers KC blanked the backup for 3.5 quaters and they got 1 TD in final mins to cover as 7 point dog losing by 6 points 13-7
