We got six of the top 10 defenses correct again, with a few obvious ones like the Eagles, Texans, and Jaguars, but I was also much higher than consensus on the Bears, Chargers, and Chiefs, so those were nice hits. I also had the Ravens ranked 11th against the Bengals, and they finished in the top 10, and I faded the 49ers down to 13th when they were consensus ranked 5th. They finished outside of the top 20 defenses on the week.
