The experiment was a moderate success the rest of the season, as the Packers’ run defense improved from dead last to 23rd in the league. Despite having a somewhat abysmal run defense, the pass defense was above par, ranking 10th while giving up a respectable 226 yards per game, with only 6.9 yard average, according to ESPN Stats & Info. With a solid defensive outing through two weeks so far, Green Bay can be able to run up the score on opponents, so expect to see Rodgers resting on the sideline for a few quarters like last season. With a high powered offense, solid defense, and experienced coaching staff and players, the Packers are an elite football team in the present day NFL. Because of this and a strong 2-0 start to the season, the Packers have the best odds of winning the Super bowl, 5-1, per Bovada.

“Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships”(AzQuotes). This quote attributed to long-time Alabama University Coach Bear Bryant who has the eighth-most career wins among all college football coaches, perfectly illustrates why the Chicago Bears were so dominant. That year, the Chicago bears towered above all other defenses by accumulating a league high 34 interceptions and forcing, once again, a league high 9 fumbles (NFL). The '85 Bears combined for a total of 65 sacks, the most by a super bowl winning team and in fact, had a total of 72 sacks in 1984, the most by any team in NFL history (NFL).

FOOTBALL FOOTBALL. The game of American football as played today by high school, college, and professional teams grew out of rugby-style football which in the mid-1870s replaced a largely kicking game known as association football. Although initially played on village greens and on college fields, the first intercollegiate game took place on 6 November 1869 when Rutgers defeated Princeton 6–4 in a soccer-style game. Five years later, Montreal's McGill University playing at Harvard introduced rugby football, which would be rapidly adopted by eastern teams.
