Top 10 Pass Defenses

So, the New York Giants sit atop the passing yards allowed charts over its past three games. Do you believe and will sit any of the New Orleans Saints passing game or does this stat lie thanks to the Giants' pass three opponents being the Tamapa Bay Buccaneers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Oakland Raiders?

The Buffalo Bills have not allowed more than 100 passing yards over its past three games after allowing 368 and 296 in its 1st two games. Was Albus Dumbledore risen from the dead to transform the team's pass defense? No. As is often the case with passing defense stats, it is an inability to stop the run that sits at the bottom of the Bills passing numbers.

With just one QB1 on bye this week, their shouldn't be too many teams worrying about stout pass defenses stopping their QB options. As for WRs, San Diego's Vincent Jackson may disappoint against the proven Denver Broncos pass defense. The Saints' receiving corps leaves a kernel of doubt, too.
