The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2008 defense was one of, if not the greatest defense in NFL history. It allowed a league-low 3.9 yards per snap and just 13.9 points per game. All 11 starters were rock-solid players, but the unit was highlighted by ILB James Farrior, S Troy Polamalu, and OLB James Harrison. The Steelers went on to win the Super Bowl, but the performance of one player in particular played a large role in getting them there. OLB LaMarr Woodley tied the NFL record for the most sacks in a single postseason with six and still holds that spot in the record books.
