Note 2: If you do these things better than 20 other teams, then you will make the playoffs.


Let me ask you a question, what do the experts say if SD were to win the SB? They didn't finish top 5 in any category so the whole theory would go to crap.

SD only made the playoffs because of the crappy division they are in and the complete collapse of the Broncos. They are playing their best football now and getting on a hot streak happens to all good teams, it just depends on when you hit it.

But you can't argue with the general results. Yes there will always be some exceptions, but in general it has been proven time and again that defense wins championships.
