Comments

  • Pretty much most of the greatest defenses of all time had nicknames. I did find that there were a lot more teams with nicknames than i thought. But they pretty much go hand in hand with the all-time best anyway.
    The Fearsome Foursome (LA Rams)
    The Legion of Boom (Seattle Seahawks)
    The Purple People Eaters (Minnesota Vikings)
    The Steel Curtain (Pittsburgh Steelers)
    Orange Crush (Denver Broncos)
    Monsters of the Midway (Chicago Bears)
    New York Sack Exchange (NY Jets)
    Doomsday Defense (Dallas Cowboys)
    No-Name Defense (Miami Dolphins)
    The Killer B’s (Miami Dolphins)
    The Dome Patrol (New Orleans Saints)
    Gang Green (Philadelphia Eagles)
    Blitzburgh (Pittsburgh Steelers)
    No Fly Zone (Denver Broncos)
    Big Blue Wrecking Crew (NY Giants)
    Gritz Blitz (Atlanta Falcons)

    the 2000 Ravens have to be ranked in the very top tier of all time defenses.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    take a look at the list of Qb's the Bears defense faced in 1985 and with the fact of the defensive rules back then anyone over the age of 5 can tell you why their defense was so good that year.

    When John Facenda was narrating Super Bowl X:
    “In the second half the Pittsburgh defense jammed the shotgun and reduced it to a squirt setting, a Super Bowl record seven sacks as a Niagara of gold and black poured down on Roger Staubach”
