What Fueled LaMarr Woodley’s Historic 2008 Playoff Performance? James Harrison, Says Dick LeBeau

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.
