HAS A TEAM WITHOUT A TOP TEN DEFENSE EVER WON THE SUPERBOWL?

[RPM]

Serious question here. does anyone know?

i cant think of one.

RPM, seriously, you are starting to lose it.
Dont start looking for stats that help the cause.

Take a deep breath, take off the glasses and get things in perspective. Analyse the game, match-ups, injuries etc and make an informed opinion.

I realise you probably didn't think you would get into the play-offs but now you are there, dont go off the rails. Now that you are a Moderator, you must show calm in all circumstances

lol@winbet.

im fine man. i promise. no stats are going to change the outcomes of any games. im just curious about the top ten thing.

What about the Rams when they beat the Titan's a couple years ago? I don't remember how good there D was.

THEY WERE TOP 5. everyone remembers them for their offense, but they scored so many points so fast, that teams did nothing but throw against them. gave their defense an easy say to go.

 

[KMAN]

WOW! I did not know that!

What about the Pats 2 years ago, maybe the worst team to ever win a Super Bowl. I don't know if their D was top 10.

 

[RPM]

pats defense WAS TOP 10 when they beat the rams.

 

[PanchoSanza]

Maybe the 49er's from 1994?

I remember their defence was nothing special.

 

[RPM]

cant find a way to check on them pancho. i do remember them for their offense though so i guess you could be right.

Don't have the 1994 almanac, but have 1976.

Oakland Raiders were 18th out of 28 in team defence as measured by net yards allowed.

They were 12th best in points allowed so they had a bend but don't break type defence.

They Beat Minnesota in the Super Bowl that year 32-14.

 

[RPM]

ok, so at least we know it has been done. albeit not recently.

 

[PanchoSanza]

1980 Raiders also did it, they were 12th overall.

Beat the eagles 27-10 in the super bwol.

That was the Lester Hayes team that had a zillion interceptions that year, another bend but don't break team.
