Amongst the defensive ranks, I think we all know the Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Bucs and San Francisco 49ers are the class of the league right now. But after that? It got really interesting, really quickly. These rankings were compiled by combining three different systems of mine: 

TIER 1: The Obvious Elite 

1. Buffalo Bills
2. Tampa Bay Bucs
3. San Francisco 49ers

TIER 2: Battling for position behind the best 

4. Jacksonville Jaguars
5. New England Patriots
6. Philadelphia Eagles
7. Los Angeles Chargers

TIER 3: We're comin' for ya, Tier 2!

8. Dallas Cowboys
9. Denver Broncos
10. Los Angeles Rams
11. Pittsburgh Steelers

TIER 4: Ready to strike, but it hasn't come together just yet 

12. Green Bay Packers
13. Minnesota Vikings
14. Kansas City Chiefs
15. Chicago Bears

TIER 5: Textbook definition of "middling"

16. New York Giants
17. New Orleans Saints
18. Atlanta Falcons
19. Indianapolis Colts

TIER 6: Starting to stumble into the "weak" tiers

20. Miami Dolphins
21. Seattle Seahawks
22. Cleveland Browns
23. Cincinnati Bengals
24. Carolina Panthers
25. Houston Texans
26. Baltimore Ravens

TIER 7: Almost as bad as it gets 

27. Tennessee Titans
28. New York Jets
29. Las Vegas Raiders
30. Washington Commanders

TIER 8: As bad as it gets. 

31. Detroit Lions
32. Arizona Cardinals

I'd say the Jacksonville Jaguars are the surprise out of this entire list!
