Week 4 ranking: 1
Biggest issue on defense: Pass rush outside of Chris Jones
Apart from Chris Jones, the Chiefs are struggling to apply adequate pressure on opposing quarterbacks. They have recorded sacks on only 5.2% of opposing pass attempts, placing them near the bottom of the league. Last season, George Karlaftis and Mike Danna were effective pass rushers, yet this season they have combined for just 1.5 sacks. Jones accounted for both of the Chiefs’ sacks in last week’s victory against the Chargers. — Adam Teicher
Week 4 ranking: 3
Biggest issue on defense: Age/snap counts
Brian Flores’ defense has emerged as one of the most notable stories in the NFL this season, and there are no major concerns. However, following the defense allowing 22 points in the fourth quarter against the Packers, issues related to age and snap counts merit consideration. Of the 10 defensive players who have started all four games, three are over 30 and six are at least 28. This season, the Vikings’ defense has logged the third-highest number of defensive snaps in the league (272). Safety Harrison Smith (35), cornerback Stephon Gilmore (34), and No. 3 corner Shaq Griffin (29) form one of the oldest secondaries in the NFL. — Kevin Seifert

Week 4 ranking: 2
Biggest issue on defense: Keeping the scheme intact with substitutes
After the Bills navigated the first three weeks with several substitutes, their defensive vulnerabilities were highlighted by the Ravens. The Ravens forced Buffalo out of their favored nickel package, leading to struggles with three backup linebackers on the field. Baltimore rushed for 217 yards before contact, marking the highest total allowed by the Bills in a game since 2012. However, Buffalo might see an improvement soon with the anticipated returns of linebacker Terrel Bernard (pectoral) and nickel corner Taron Johnson (forearm). Still, the Bills must brace for opponents trying to push them out of their scheme and will need to adapt accordingly. — Alaina Getzenberg
Week 4 ranking: 5
Biggest issue on defense: Minimizing QB effectiveness
While Detroit’s pass coverage has permitted only four touchdowns this season, the team’s defense could enhance its performance in reducing opponents’ total QBR, currently at 55.6 through four games, which ranks 22nd in the league. In Week 1, Matthew Stafford connected on 34 of 49 passes for 317 yards and a touchdown. Week 2 saw Baker Mayfield complete 12 of 19 passes with a touchdown, while Geno Smith posted 38 completions on 56 attempts for 395 yards and a touchdown on Monday. Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn stated they “aim to improve each week,” which is essential following their 29-point concession to Seattle. — Eric Woodyard
Week 4 ranking: 13
Biggest issue on defense: Achieving consistent pressure
Before Week 4, the Buccaneers managed just two sacks, the lowest in the NFL. However, they recorded six sacks in their 33-16 win over the Eagles, a team that had previously allowed QB Jalen Hurts to be hit 44 times in the first three games. Will this trend continue? The Bucs gained more interior push with the return of defensive tackle Vita Vea, who missed one game due to an MCL injury, though they are still without first-round draft pick Calijah Kancey (calf) from 2023. — Jenna Laine
Week 4 ranking: 4
Biggest issue on defense: Deficiency in takeaways
Prior to a series of injuries in their front line that impacted their performance on Monday night against Detroit, the Seahawks were among the NFL’s best defenses, allowing the fourth-fewest points in the initial three weeks. Nevertheless, one consistently lacking area has been takeaways; Seattle has forced only three, even with an easier schedule of quarterbacks and a capable pass rush. – Brady Henderson
Week 4 ranking: 12<img alt="" src="https
Biggest issue on defense: Allowing significant passing plays
The Ravens lead the NFL, allowing a remarkable 10 completions on passes that traveled 20 or more yards in the air. Teams have been compelled to extend the field since Baltimore has surged to substantial early leads. Unfortunately, these lengthy passing plays have allowed opponents to reduce their deficits. However, this should not continue to be a problem throughout the season for Baltimore: The Ravens have largely retained the same secondary that permitted only 18 completions on throws of 20 yards or longer last season, ranking as the seventh fewest in the league. — Jamison Hensley

Biggest issue on defense: Safeties in coverage
<pThe Texans’ safeties are being targeted by opposing offenses. Houston employs Cover 4 on 34% of their first and second down plays. This has invited teams to utilize play-action to make the safeties defend vertical routes, contributing to the Texans allowing the second-most yards from play-action on early downs (337). Additionally, opponents are positioning their top wide receivers in the slot to exploit these matchups against the safeties, who have surrendered four touchdowns in coverage according to NFL Next Gen Stats. — DJ Bien-Aime
Week 4 ranking: 9
Biggest issue on defense: Defending on third downs
While the 49ers improved in getting off the field on third down against New England, they will face much more formidable offenses and need to figure out how to consistently achieve stops. San Francisco ranks 26th in the NFL for third-down conversions allowed at 46%. Even more concerning is their last-place ranking in allowing conversions for third-and-long (7-plus yards), with a staggering 50%. — Nick Wagoner

Week 4 ranking: 19
Biggest issue on defense:
Run defense
Washington finds itself ranked 31st in yards per carry (5.3) and 27th in total yards per game (357). Over the last three games, the team has allowed an alarming 5.9 yards per carry. The gaps in the defense are excessively large, with tackles being pushed aside and others attempting to evade blocks. At times, they have not set the edge firmly enough, allowing running backs to cut inside. However, Washington can take solace in the fact that, in the upcoming six weeks, they will face only two teams — Baltimore (No. 1) and Pittsburgh (No. 10) — that are in the top 10 for rushing. — John Keim
Week 4 ranking: 11
Primary defensive concern: Impacting the quarterback
The Packers have pressured opposing quarterbacks 49 times, which ranks sixth in the NFL through Week 4, according to ESPN Research. However, they are not effectively moving these quarterbacks from their positions or hastening their throws. On average, passers are holding the ball for 2.71 seconds while in the pocket, the longest in the league, and they average 3.04 seconds before making a throw, which is the second-highest duration in the league. Green Bay’s pass rush win rate stands at 27.3%, the lowest in the NFL. — Rob Demovsky
Week 4 ranking: 7
Primary defensive concern: Allowing significant passing yards
The Steelers surrendered six passing plays of 15 yards or more to the Colts on Sunday, including four during the first half, after allowing only 12 such plays in the first three weeks. Before this loss in Week 4, they were restricting opponents to just 8.6 points per game. However, they conceded 27 points to the Colts due to several significant chunk plays. “Minimizing the chunk plays was one of our goals, but we failed to capitalize — whether due to being out of position or not making a play on the ball,” stated Pittsburgh safety DeShon Elliott. — Brooke Pryor
Week 4 ranking: 6
Primary defensive concern: Edge rushing
The defensive unit entered Week 4 without any sacks but finally registered two takedowns by Brandon Graham and Josh Sweat against Tampa Bay. At 36, Graham has been the standout performer, which is a positive story but raises concerns about sustainability over a 17-game season. The Eagles had signed Bryce Huff to a three-year, $51 million contract in free agency, expecting him to be an impactful three-down player, yet he has not been dependable against the run. Unless there is a notable improvement in performance from Huff or 2023 first-round draft choice Nolan Smith Jr., this defense could pose a significant problem throughout the season. — Tim McManus

Week 4 ranking: 10
Key issue on defense: Late-game errors
In the past two games, the Saints’ defense has committed critical errors in the final moments. During Week 3, players collided, allowing the Eagles a 61-yard gain with just 1:13 left, which led to Philadelphia’s winning touchdown. Although the defense allowed only 12 points in Sunday’s loss to the Falcons, a 30-yard defensive pass interference penalty facilitated the winning 58-yard field goal. — Katherine Terrell
Week 4 ranking: 16
Key issue on defense: Run defense struggles
The Cowboys’ run defense cannot be deemed fixed simply because the Giants managed only 26 yards on 24 carries. It will take several weeks to address the 464 rushing yards they surrendered to New Orleans and Baltimore. Of their next four opponents, three have rushing attacks ranked in the top 10. Furthermore, Dallas may miss Micah Parsons (ankle) and DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) for at least two of those matchups. The Cowboys allow a touchdown every 15.88 carries, ranking 29th in the league. Their expected points added for total rushing defense stands at minus-13.21, while the Rams are at minus-7.43, in 31st place. — Todd Archer

Week 4 ranking: 14
Key issue on defense: Only one interception made
The Jets have a productive pass rush (14 sacks) and excel in pass defense, yet they have managed just one interception. The lone player to record a pick is backup nickelback Brandin Echols, who achieved this as an injury substitute in Week 2. Regular starters, including All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner, have not intercepted a pass, with Gardner going 28 games without one. This is surprising, given the Jets’ reliance on zone coverage, which typically creates opportunities for interceptions. — Rich Cimini
Week 4 ranking: 21
Key issue on defense: Inability to get off the field
The Falcons
The Falcons currently possess the second-worst time of possession in the league, averaging 35:28. Their defense has largely adopted a “bend-don’t-break” mentality, helping keep the team competitive in games. However, to allow the offense a chance to establish a rhythm, the defense needs to get off the field more quickly. Compared to the Falcons, opponents have notably executed more offensive plays (276 on average versus Atlanta’s 215) and garnered more first downs (85 compared to 70). While the secondary has performed admirably, restricting opponents to fewer pass plays exceeding 20 yards than all but the Seahawks, Atlanta has fallen short in limiting rushing yards, ranking seventh in the NFL with 582 allowed. — Marc Raimondi
Week 4 ranking: 15
Key defensive issue: Missing stars
The Chargers have emerged as one of the strongest defenses in the NFL, yielding the fewest points per game at 12.5 over the first four weeks. Nevertheless, this unit has been hampered by the absence of two of its top players. Outside linebacker Joey Bosa, dealing with a hip injury, has participated in just 16 snaps since Week 1 and sat out Week 4. Additionally, Safety Derwin James Jr. faced a suspension for unnecessary roughness related to a helmet-to-helmet hit against the Chiefs in Week 3. The return of these players would further bolster the Chargers’ defense, enhancing its potential. — Kris Rhim
Week 4 ranking: 24
Key defensive issue: Third-down defense
Indianapolis continues to struggle in halting opponents on third down. The Colts have recorded one of the league’s lowest performance rates, allowing a conversion rate of 49.2%. This issue was clearly evident during their Sunday victory over the Steelers, where they allowed quarterback Justin Fields and Pittsburgh’s offense to successfully convert 5 of 8 attempts on third down. This contributed to erasing a 17-3 halftime lead and transforming a dominant game into a nail-biter. Fields completed 4 of 5 (80%) passes on third downs for 43 yards and a touchdown in the second half. — Stephen Holder

Week 4 ranking: 26
Key defensive issue: Run defense
While the Bears’ defense has been impressive this season, any areas of concern are likely to be addressed through minor adjustments rather than major overhauls. Chicago is ranked number one against the run in 2023, yet is conceding an average of 121 rushing yards and 4.5 yards per carry per game, which places them at 18th and 10th, respectively. Although the Bears have permitted only one 100-yard rusher (Jonathan Taylor in Week 3) and struggled against Kyren Williams (5.0 yards per carry in Week 4), they need to enhance their performance against the run.
Matt Eberflus’ unit is one step closer to achieving its top-five defensive goal. — Courtney Cronin
Week 4 ranking: 22
Biggest issue on defense: Getting to the quarterback
While backup edge rusher Chris Snowden’s last-minute tackle of QB Deshaun Watson sealed the Raiders’ tense victory over the Browns on Sunday, it marked only Las Vegas’ eighth sack of the season, placing them tied for the fifth-fewest sacks in the NFL after four games. To be fair, starting DE Malcolm Koonce was sidelined for the season with a knee injury prior to the opener, and Maxx Crosby missed the Browns game due to a left high ankle sprain. Nonetheless, other players need to step up. — Paul Gutierrez
Week 4 ranking: 27
Biggest issue on defense: Consistency in run defense
This critique is somewhat minor, as run defense has shown progress since surrendering over 140 rushing yards in each of Denver’s opening two games. However, when compared to their standings in other categories—leading the NFL in sacks per pass attempt and ranking in the top four for red zone defense, total defense, passing defense, and third-down defense—the current No. 12 ranking in rush defense indicates room for improvement. Under Vance Joseph’s leadership, the defense has limited opponents to only 155 rushing yards over the past two weeks, but further advancements could elevate the Broncos to an even more formidable status. — Jeff Legwold

Biggest issue on defense: Run defense struggles
Last season, the Dolphins boasted the seventh-best run defense, but this year, they are allowing an average of 119.5 rushing yards per game, currently ranking 16th in the NFL. While they have not permitted a single 100-yard rusher this season, both Zach Charbonnet and James Cook scored multiple touchdowns against them in successive weeks. Miami has given up seven rushing touchdowns, tying them for the second-worst record in the league. The Dolphins’ sluggish start this season primarily stems from offensive issues rather than defensive failures, but they still have room to strengthen their management of opposing run games. — Marcel Louis-Jacques
Week 4 ranking: 24
Biggest issue on defense: Defensive line
This season, the Bengals’ defensive line has been virtually ineffective, both in defending against the run and the pass. Currently, Cincinnati ranks 31st in the NFL regarding run stop win rate at 28.5% and also sits at 31st for sacks per dropback with a rate of 3.8%. These factors significantly contribute to the team being considered one of the poorest defensive units in the league. The absence of four defensive tackles—starters Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) and BJ Hill (hamstring), along with rookies Kris Jenkins Jr. (thumb) and McKinnley Jackson (knee)—has significantly impacted performance. Nonetheless, the Bengals must enhance production from their defensive line. — Ben Baby
Week 4 ranking: 18
Biggest issue on defense: Defending the run
Entering the week, the Rams were positioned 31st in defensive rush DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) while facing a Bears offense that was ranked 30th in offensive rush DVOA. However, in Week 4, Bears running back D’Andre Swift accumulated 93 rushing yards against the Rams, surpassing his total of 68 yards from the first three games of the season combined. Coach Sean McVay noted, “I thought the Rams did a really good job throughout the course of the game, and then the key drive that we had to have, they ended up popping a long one that Swift ended up scoring from 36 yards out.” — Sarah Barshop
Week 4 ranking: 17
Biggest issue on defense: Secondary
The Cardinals rank second-to-last in the league for passing yards allowed per play, with an average of 8.1 yards. This has contributed to them being 28th overall in total yards allowed per play at 5.8. Remarkably, the Cardinals have not permitted a single 100-yard receiver this season, yet 18 players have managed to record at least 20 receiving yards against Arizona across four games. — Josh Weinfuss
Week 4 ranking: 23
Biggest issue on defense: Missed tackles
This year’s Browns defense has not resembled the elite unit it was in 2023, as missed tackles have become a significant issue. This concern is particularly evident in run defense, where Cleveland is allowing an average of 2.24 yards after contact per rush, the worst statistic in the NFL. After the Browns permitted over 150 rushing yards to the Raiders on Sunday, defensive end Myles Garrett remarked, “A lot of guys are going in with their shoulder trying to lay that big hit … the first guy’s got to wrap up and slow the runner down and stop his momentum.” — Daniel Oyefusi
Week 4 ranking: 30
Biggest issue on defense: Cornerbacks in run support
It’s simple to look at the Giants’ rush defense, which permits 4.7 yards per carry (24th in the NFL), and pinpoint the defensive line as the main culprit. However, a considerable portion of the issues arises from the perimeter. Teams are averaging more than 5.6 yards per rush when running to the right and over 6.0 yards when going outside the left tackle. The Giants’ cornerbacks, especially Deonte Banks and Cor’Dale Flott, must improve their support on the edges if the team hopes to resolve this issue. — Jordan Raanan

Week 4 ranking: 32
Major defensive issue: Generating turnovers
The Titans’ defense managed to force their first turnover only during Monday night’s victory in Miami, resulting in just one turnover forced this season. Defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, who emphasizes takeaways, came with a strong focus on this aspect when he assumed his role. As the secondary coach, Wilson’s groups helped the Bears to tie for second with 18 interceptions last season, and the Eagles to tie for third with 17 in 2022. Generally, teams tend to replicate their emphasized skills. Wilson advocates for “attacking the ball with aggressiveness” and “converging on the football.” Unfortunately, that has not materialized thus far. Tennessee’s defense holds the worst turnover ratio in the NFL at minus-8. — Turron Davenport
Week 4 ranking: 28
Major defensive issue: Quarterback pressure
The Jaguars currently sit 29th in quarterback pressures (41) and pressure percentage (25.9%). This is despite facing a Cleveland squad without either starting offensive tackle and a Houston team that lost its top offensive tackle for a significant duration of Sunday’s game. Josh Hines-Allen and Arik Armstead have tallied one sack each, while Travon Walker, chosen first overall by the Jaguars over Aidan Hutchinson in 2022, has two sacks. — Michael DiRocco

Biggest issue on defense: Allowing quarterbacks to escape the pocket
No official metric exists for blown edges, but the Patriots might be at the top of that list. Following Sunday’s defeat to the 49ers, Coach Jerod Mayo remarked, ”Keeping the quarterback in the pocket remains a challenge.” During the first drive, Brock Purdy was allowed to escape the pocket three times, extending passing plays or using his legs — a concerning trend given the team’s earlier struggles against quarterbacks like Geno Smith and Aaron Rodgers. Mayo cautioned that if defenders fail to rectify these repeated mistakes, their playing time could be impacted. — Mike Reiss

Defensive Struggles: Analyzing Key Teams
Miami Dolphins: Offense Overcomes Defensive Issues
The Miami Dolphins have taken the league by storm with their high-octane offense, ranking first in points scored per game. However, defensively, they rank 25th, struggling against both the pass and the run. Their inability to stop opposing offenses could become a liability as the season progresses.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Struggle is Real
The Buccaneers sit at 30th in defensive rankings, facing significant challenges in their secondary. With a talented offense led by quarterback Baker Mayfield, the Bucs will need to tighten their defense to remain competitive in a stacked NFC South.
