I was looking at some stuff recently and came across the 1996 Packers. They had the #1 scoring offense and #1 scoring defense. They scored 28.5 PPG and only allowed 13 PPG. That squad has to be a lowkey candidate for one of the best teams of all-time.
They had the #5 scoring defense in 1997 and #11 scoring defense in 1998. They did a decent job of surrounding Favre with some talent, at least for a bit, and ultimately capitalizing during that stretch as well.
