XN Sports will rank every NFL offense and defense leading up the regular season. We continue the series with the defenses in the AFC.

From the teams that’ll be tough to score points against week in and week out, to the ones that’ll allow opposing quarterbacks to post career-highs, here are the defense rankings for the AFC.

1. Denver Broncos

The Broncos’ win-now mentality was evident by the moves the team made on the defensive side of the ball this offseason. DeMarcus Ware is now rushing the passer opposite Von Miller, and Aqib Talib and T.J. Ward are now manning the back end of the defense. You would be hard-pressed to find a better front seven in football.
