Defense wins Championships.
That is the age old axiom you have heard all your life and will continue to hear until you pass. Whether it’s true or not does not really matter because as we all know, perception is reality.
And the reality is that defense wins championships.
Looking back at the last ten Super Bowl winners, the axiom seems to hold up pretty well.
The 2005 Steelers finished third in total yards allowed as well in rush defense and points allowed.
The ’06 Colts had the second best pass defense in the entire league.
