I recall doing some research on that about 5 years ago to disprove the concept being tossed around that  “Defenses Win Championships”.I took the basic, time saving approach of taking the cumulative O + D scoring rankings across roughly 50 SuperBowl Champions. I don’t have that exact finding but my memory tells me that the D ranked ~6.9 scoring while the O were like ~8.1 scoring. Obviously that’s a huge sample and the difference was rounded to a whole number 1 in favor of the D being the most successful effect. The Defense clearly Won that argument because it was actually over 1+ in its favor.I’m not sure that 6-7 seasons would change that result much but my best guess would be just over 1 to just under 1 difference, still in favor of the D.  Yet I think it’s still safe to use my coined finding back then “Well Rounded teams win Championships”.  I’m so sorry to steal all the fun guysPS.I Did not take into account ST units rankings in relation to those teams. It’s quite possible that unit could swing the tide of the battle of that argument some because of its effect on the outcome (after all, I picked the SB Winners and ST should be recognized)</blockquote>
