Who Are Your Top 3 Defensive Teams In The NFL?

Don't know why you have to get so offended or upset about it. It's very possible that the Bears defense could be better. Seattle played GB/DAL at home while the Bears played them on the road. They also played better against the Rams than the Seahawks did. As ImTellinTim said...

I'm not offended I just want to throw out some numbers which I copied and pasted. I also wanted to correct him cause he said the Bears by far has the best defense in the NFL which I think is foolish. The best? Possibly but doubt it. By far? Not a chance.

I agree, "by far" was over the top hyperbole and was worth challenging.

As said before it is odd the teams that are up for discussion in this thread lol.

49ers
Seahawks
Texans

No order really all are interchangeable. but Texans might fall from the top three without Cushing. Can't put the Cards up here to tell you the truth not impressed by what i see from their run D. Their pass defense is amazing but get a power run team and I think the cards have problems, they just don't seem to have the stiffness of a good run defense.

Texans drop multiple spots without Cush. Opposing QBs complete 7% more of their passes when he's not on the field :/

Bears:

Total Yards per game: 296.7 (4)
Passing Yards per game: 225.4 (7)
Rushing Yards per game: 71.3 (1)
Sacks: 21 (4)
Turnovers - Fumbles recovered: 7 (1) Interceptions: 14 (1)
TD's - Allowed: 6 (1) Scored: 5 (1)

And most importantly, Points per game: 13.0 (1)

Pretty good start to the season if you ask me.

Ok now I'm convinced that the Bears are the best.

Not saying they're clearly the best. Just solidly in the conversation.
