“Go back through football, and you will see that the team with the best defense wins.”
The man who said that has his name engraved on the Super Bowl trophy, and if Vince Lombardi thinks defense wins championships, who are we to argue?
As fast as modern offenses advance, defense is always reacting and catching up. An elite defense can elevate even the blandest of attacks, while a porous one can undermine everything a great offense does with a single bad play. It’s still a team game, with 22 starters and 53-man rosters.
