In other words, a great defense or a great offense

Great defense, great offense, doesn't really matter.

Just gotta get hot at the right time.

Lots of teams play well enough in 3-4 game stretches in the regular season, that if that was the playoffs, they'd have a title.

Timing/luck.

I mean only 3 of the last 11 won it with a soft D. The other winners that had a great offense also had good to great defense. So, to the OP's point:

Does this put us a few steps past the "Defense wins championships" with today's game and rules? Can we now say Quarterbacks and Offenses wins Championships?


No, more often than not, defense still wins championships. Yea, if you have a top offense it is possible to win with a below average defense, but it doesn't happen as often as the other way around (great D with an average O). The only shining example of O winning it, is the 2006 Indianapolis Mannings.


wow the 03 Pats belong on the D wins championships side....
