A nice list. I'm glad that Willie Davis and co. got a little love. Not too happy about the Vikins one upping us, but hey, we have way more to show for it.

One more thing, where is the 1977 Falcons defense? 9.2 points per game. That's a record. 121 points in total. That's just crazy.

Hey Rock, did you notice that most of the video of the 71 Vikings defense was of the Vikings spanking the Packers?

 




Not in 1971....
:icon_smile:

 

Problem is, no one actually needs to look up how that one ended up. It ended up with a choking team and a devastated fanbase. Yet again.

The '62 Packers, on the other hand, went 13-1 and won an NFL championship. Such a shame that they had to lose that one game against the Lions, out of all teams.

Oh yeah, Vikings that season. 2-11-1. :downtown:

I can't disagree with the teams in the top three, just the order.
Steelers
Ravens
Bears

So the ravens were that good back in 2000 huh?

interesting that our SB teams D wasnt on the list ...

Ummmm you don't think the Ravens won the Super Bowl on the arm of Trent Dilfer do you?

They gave up 23 points in 4 playoff games that year.

wildcard round

Denver 3 @ Balt. 24

Division Round

Balt. 24 @ Tenn 10

Championship

Balt. 16 @ Oakland 3

Super Bowl

Balt. 34 Giants 7

Side note the Giants got their 7 points on a record breaking kick return. The reason is was record breaking was because it was part of back to back kickoff returns for TDs.

That year in the playoff the Defense counted for 2 tds and the special teams had 2 returns

28 points Ravens special teams and Defense opponent 23. Who needs an offense when you have that.


Once again Defense wins championships


one last note the Ravens defense gave up an average of 10.3 pts a game.
