Arrow If it comes down to DEFENSE - which team do you want? Who's physical? Who's soft?

Rank the playoff teams BEST defense

If defense wins championships, then probably SCRATCH THESE TEAMS

Colts
Saints
Packers
Bengals
Cards
Patriots (they don't scare you anymore)

I am not talking about stats but I don't think any of the above defenses scare anyone

If it comes down to DEFENSE - who do you want? Who's physical? Who's soft?

Chargers, Eagles, Cowboys, Ravens, Vikings, Jets all play pretty good defense but none are that dominant defense like in some past years

I think offense is going to matter more

How would you rank the defenses? Even the top 5?

The Chargers are more bend/break type, but they are one of the best in the redzone and at the goal line...also force a lot of turnovers. There really isnt a top tier defense in this playoffs

bengals defense is good you could say great...rank # 6 vs the pass, with two excellent corners

and #7 vs the run

#6 scoring allowing 18.2 pts a game

jets had no prayer of stopping peyton before they pulled their starters...cowboys probably rate as the best defense in the playoffs on my board
