Meanwhile, NFL defensive rankings highlight the Seattle Seahawks as one of the best defensive units, maintaining strong performances even without key players, and the Houston Texans showing defensive prowess despite offensive struggles. The Cleveland Browns' defense also stood out in recent games, showcasing a dominant pass rush and control at the line of scrimmage.
