Defense still does it and Vikings have it

The Broncos won Super Bowl 50 on the strength of their defense, and the Vikings are building a good one themselves.

As much as the NFL game has changed over the years, especially with the advent of new rules designed to make it more difficult to get physical with receivers, one thing that hasn’t changed is that you win championships with defense.
