NFL Power Rankings: Top 20 Defenses Week 13

November 29, 2025 by Last Word On Pro Football

It’s that time of the week when we look at which defenses stepped up and which others fell after week 12 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.

20. Philadelphia Eagles – 340.1 Total Yards Against

The Eagles are coming off a loss to the Cowboys and are looking to get back on track for Week 13. As I write this, they are losing a tough game against the Bears on Black Friday. The defense is doing its job despite being down in the game.

19. Arizona Cardinals – 337 Total Yards Against

The Cardinals made me look like a hero last week by dismantling the Jaguars with three sacks and four turnovers. This week, they’ll be heading to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers, who are getting back some players from injury.

18. Carolina Panthers – 327 Total Yards Against

The Panthers intercepted Brock Purdy three times last week as they gave the Niners all they had. This week, that won’t matter since they’ll have the Rams coming to town, who should be able to do anything they want with this defense.

17. Jacksonville Jaguars – 323.8 Total Yards Against

The Jaguars may not be the best defense in the NFL, but when you get six sacks against a mobile quarterback, you’re doing something right. This week, they’ll be facing the Titans, who are a train wreck, giving the Jaguars another chance at four or more sacks in this game.
