The top 4 offenses this year have been especially great. But I'm sure it will regress to teams that just have a better competitive advantage on either side.. which is always the case in a two sides sport. This year these offenses were better than the best defenses. And these 4 complimentary defenses were better relatively than the Ravens or Cowboys offenses.. they were just better teams. Good defenses. Top 4 offenses. Edited January 14, 2019 by BarkleyForGOATBackupPT5P

Good defenses. Top 4 offenses. Expand New Orleans have a good defense. It was 14th in yards and 14th in points and it played better as the year went on. New England had their usual bend but don't break D that is just below halfway in yards and (as always) top 10 in points. The Rams were just below halfway in both categories but were 4th in takeaways (and all of their 30 takeaways were defense not special teams related). The one "bad" defense that is still standing is the Chiefs but they have played noticeably better defensively at home which is why the #1 seed mattered so much for them. It would be a concern in a non partisan Superbowl atmosphere. The only way the Chiefs win the Superbowl if they get there is, in my mind, in a shootout. 1

Expand And as bad as KC's defense was, they still had 27 takeaways. Only 7 teams had more. Defense is all about playmakers now. A near elite corner in White helps, but the only young guy in our front 7 who makes big plays is Milano. I expect Edmunds to improve in that category, but we need to add one more. Our safeties are reliable as well as occasional ballhawks. What's missing is a young pass rushing force with Jerry and Lorax getting up there in age. Edited January 14, 2019 by LSHMEAB

Expand Yeah not to mention the Cheifs defense played out of their minds v the colts. Their great OL got shredded, Andrew Luck shut down. Chiefs defense really turned on the jets in their on playoff game so far. Also statwise. I'd hazard an offense that good led to meaningless garbagetime points given up, and the sorta extended drives they allow another team to waste time as they're down by 14+ points all game.
