Despite not having the Packers to root for, it’s been interesting to watch the way the playoffs have played out so far. The teams that made the final four are probably not that big of a surprise to anyone in the sense that they were the top four seeds in the league. Still, there were many more people who thought teams like the Colts, Chargers and Bears could potentially make much more noise in the postseason due to the play of their defenses.
While the old adage is “defense wins championships,” this year’s teams by and large have arrived to the precipice of the Super Bowl on the strength of their offenses.
