NFL Teams with the Best Defensive Line Going Into the 2019-20 Season
Note that this isn't a list for teams with the best defense, it's just the defensive line that we're focused on in this list.
The Minnesota Vikings are an American football team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Vikings joined the National Football League as an expansion team in 1960, and first took the field for the 1961 season. You may say that Chicago has the number one defense in the league, but this team tied them in overall sacks last season, and not all of it was coming from the linebackers. It was their legendary defensive line. With Danielle Hunter leading this unit that also boasts Everson Griffin, who missed a few games last year. Not to mention the depth in this lineup, which proved itself well last year
The Los Angeles Chargers are a professional American football team based in Los Angeles. The Chargers compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's American Football Conference West division. Joey Bosa is healthy again, and they have first round pick Jerry Tillery. They have players on every level of the depth chart who can play really well if they are asked to take a full time spot, which is exactly what you need for a unit to be great.
I see Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram rushing off the edge and first rounder Jeffery Tillery storming up the middle. The AFC West should be afraid.
Yep that Defensive line as well as defense in general is stacked
The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team in Chicago, Illinois. The Bears compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference North division. They basically have the best defense in the whole league. It will be interesting now that they are without one of the best defensive coordinators ever, Vic Fangio
The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns compete in the National Football League as a member team of the American Football Conference North division.
The Cleveland Browns are one of the four teams to have never been to a Super Bowl, and one of two teams to go 0-16. With Myles Garrett, Oliver Vernon, and Sheldon Richardson, this unit has the potential to be one of the best I the league for years to come.
The Houston Texans are a professional American football team based in Houston, Texas. The team competes in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference South division.
The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional football franchise based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Eagles compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference East division. Although now without Michael Bennett, this unit is still pretty good. They still have Brandon Graham, Vinny Curry, Derek Barnett, and Fletcher Cox
The San Francisco 49ers are a professional American football team located in the San Francisco Bay Area. With DeForest Buckner, Arik Armstead, and Soloman Thomas, Nick Bosa, and Dee Ford, they are set to give quarterbacks nightmares. Although a couple of these players aren't quite living up to expectations (looking at you Soloman Thomas), these players are all still young and have a ton of potential. This unit will be fun to watch.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are an American professional football franchise based in Jacksonville, Florida. With several of their first round picks on their defensive line in Josh Allen and Taven Bryan, expect more production out of this unit. they also have two reliable players in Calais Campbell and Yannik Ngakoue.
The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference East division. They have Demarcus Lawrence as well as Robet Quinn, a pass rush specialist
The Pittsburgh Steelers are a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that competes in the National Football League.
Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls with 6 which currently stands today. The only reason why they are this low is because TJ Watt is a linebacker, unlike his older brother. On the defensivie line, they have Cameron Heyward and Javon Hargrave, who are both proven players.
The New York Jets are a professional American football team located in the New York metropolitan area.
The Carolina Panthers are a professional American football team based in Charlotte, North Carolina, that competes in the National Football League.
The Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit, Michigan. The Lions compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference North division. ...read more.
The Washington Commanders are a professional American football team based in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
In 2020, Washington after 87 years got rid of the Redskins trademark due to it being labeled racist to native culture. It was named the Washington Football Team until February 2022, when the team was renamed the Washington Commanders.
The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football franchise based in Seattle, Washington. The Seahawks compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference West division. After losing Frank Clarke, I don't think that they're going to be anything spectacular.
The Cincinnati Bengals are a professional American football franchise based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Bengals currently compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's American Football Conference North division.
The Buffalo Bills are a professional American football team based in the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area that competes in the National Football League.
Buffalo Bills had the longest playoff drought of any team which came to an end in 2017.
