New England, SB XXXVI
Baltimore, SB XXXV
Pittsburgh, SB XL
Giants, SB XXV



I'm not saying you don't need a good d to help you win, but people who think that defense wins championships are just clueless to the reality of the NFL.
You'd definitely have to add the Bears to that list. The Dolphins and Steelers were also defensive teams. The Bucs that trashed the Raiders were a defensive team.

I'd say that easily 1/2 the Super Bowl teams were stronger on defense than offense. It's about even.

The big difference is that a great defense can carry a horrible offense but it doesn't work the other way around. Horrible defenses don't win.

Denver rookie QB John Elway, on Jack Lambert, after Lambert and the Steelers knocked Elway out of his first game as a pro (1983).
