No, I believe he is basing his #1 rating on total defense, which they are #1 in, and #1 in least amout of yards given up.
Denver and Arizona are #1 and #1a when it comes to passing defense, now pay attention here, here's the good part, Arizona is a top ten rush defense unit, while Denver is pretty much bottom of the barrel when it comes to run defense.
So, the reason why Arizona is the top ranked defense is because they are just as good as Denver in pass defense, but unlike Denver, Arizona can stop Ray Charles rushing the ball.
Oh, by the way, guess who is #3 in pass defense in the NFL, win valuable prizes.
Need a clue?

Denver -3 on the road is the biggest square bet on the board Sunday.
Lynch will have more picks than TD's Sunday.
Not for nothing, Denver lost last week because they have shit for brains as a head coach.
