1. LOS ANGELES RAMS

The Rams allowed an NFL-best -0.13 expected points added (EPA) per pass this season. For perspective, only four teams in the entire league allowed negative EPA per pass. The Rams' unit, from top to bottom, has been nothing short of exceptional.

First-year defensive coordinator Brandon Staley has crafted a great scheme, and Jalen Ramsey, Troy Hill, Darious Williams and John Johnson III have all executed at an elite level. Williams and Ramsey ranked fourth and seventh, respectively, among outside corners in coverage grade this season, while Hill was the second-highest-graded slot corner and Johnson was the fourth-highest-graded safety in coverage.

2. GREEN BAY PACKERS

Green Bay’s secondary is anchored by the NFL’s most valuable cornerback, Jaire Alexander, and most valuable safety, Adrian Amos. Those two also led their respective positions in coverage grade along with ranking No. 1 in PFF WAR. Amos has been one of the most productive cover safeties in the league, racking up 12 passing stops (tied for ninth), 10 forced incompletions (second) and a couple of interceptions.

Alexander, meanwhile, is as stingy as they come, allowing just 21.5 yards per game (second to Ramsey) and as many plays on the ball as first downs/touchdowns (16).
