Offensive rank of remaining teams

[Do7]

The best overall teams win.

Not all the time. Case in point look at the 08 Giants.

As for offensive Rankings
1. KC
2. LA because they are more balanced imo
3. NO
4. NE

I am hoping someone KC can knock off NE and LA can knock off NO. These Patriot and Saints fans have been obnoxious.

When it was all said and done, the 08 Giants proved to be the best team.

Those Giants did have a top 1o defense anyway.

By points per game, regular season 2018.

1) Chiefs
2) Rams
3) Saints
4) Patriots

Literally the 4 best offensive teams in the NFL are the 4 currently left standing.

Good info for next time someone breaks out the silly cliche of "defense wins championship."

It happened for the first time in league history though.

Not sure what the Bears Offense was ranked in 1985, but that Defense seemed to win them most of their games.

The Bears had the second highest scoring offense in 1985.

Go back to the final 4 the previous year than the one you listed and the defenses were more just flat out bad than even average (Atlanta, New England, Green Bay, Pittsburgh).

The Patriots had the best scoring defense in the league in 2016. The Steelers ranked in the top 10 as well.

Those Giants did have a top 1o defense anyway.

The 2007 Giants ranked 17th in points allowed.

Defensive champ/Offensive champ/def loser/off loser ranks of the past 10 champions

And once again I, as I have in the past, will debunk the theory that defense wins championships is a “silly cliche” as most super bowl champions are well rounded teams.

2017 Eagles 4th/3rd/5th/2nd
2016 Patriots 1st/3rd/27th/1st
2015 Broncos 4th/19th/6th/1st
2014 Patriots 8th/4th/1st/10th
2013 Seahawks 1st/9th/22nd/1st
2012 Ravens 12th/10th/2nd/11th
2011 Giants 25th/9th/15th/4th
2010 Packers 2nd/10th/1st/12th
2009 Saints 20th/1st/8th/7th
2008 Steelers 1st/20th/28th/4th

Avg defense 7.8, average offense 8.8/avg def loser 11.5/avg off loser/5.3
#1 def champions: 3
#1 off champions:1
Top 5 def champions: 6
Top 5 off champions: 4
Top 5 def losers: 4
Top 5 off losers: 6
Bad def outlier champions: 2
Bad off outlier champions: 2
Champions with a top 10 off and def: 5
Losers with a top 10 off and def: 4

Imagine that, the average defense of the champions at 7.8 is not only better than their own offense at 8.8 but is also worse than the avg. offensive rank of the loser at 5.3 and is better than the average def rank of the loser at 11.5.

Let’s call a ranking in the top 12 good to elite.

Number of times a top 12 def was champion: 8
Number of times a top 12 off was champion: 8
Number of times a top 12 def was loser: 6
Number of times a top 12 off was the loser: 10

In conclusion, the stats easily support that the better your defense, the more likely you are to win the Super Bowl. Let’s stop pretending otherwise.

Super Bowl LIII

Patriots 4th offense, 7th defense

Rams 3rd Offense, 20th defense

Once again, defense rules the day, a great offense generally means nothing with a **** poor defense.

Just ask the Rams and Chiefs

The Rams defense didn't play poor in the playoffs by any means.
