NFL’s top 10 defenses in 2025? Broncos edge out Eagles and Ravens for No. 1 spot; Patriots will rise - NFL.com

Gardner-Johnson), a budding star (DT Milton Williams) and one of the most beloved Eagles of the 21st century (OLB Brandon Graham). And yet, I won’t be the least bit surprised if Vic Fangio fields the NFL’s stingiest defense for a second consecutive season. Defensive tackle Jalen Carter is on the fast track to becoming one of the league’s most destructive forces — if he isn’t already there — while Nolan Smith emerged as an edge-rushing menace last season, racking up four sacks in the playoffs.
