Late For Work 5/22: Will Ravens Overtake Texans for NFL's Top Defense?

The Houston Texans have a really, really good defense.

They finished atop the league last season in yards allowed per game (301.3). And that’s despite their best player, All-World defensive end J.J. Watt, playing in only three games (back surgery).

The Ravens had the best defense in the league last year until a late-season stumble, and finished at No. 7 overall (322.1).

So who will have the NFL’s best defense in 2017?

NFL Network’s Willie McGinest said he believes the Texans can do it again. Well, Ravens nose tackle Brandon Williams had a Twitter response to that.
