2009 Super Bowl Odds: Steelers Has Historic Defense

With two weeks left in the regular season and the 2009 Super Bowl odds fast approaching, there are few teams that look better poised to make a run at the Super Bowl odds than the Steelers. With a dominating defense and a crazy hard schedule, this team could be its opponents’ worst nightmare when the hunt begins.

2009 Super Bowl odds contender is an accurate name to call the Steelers. The defense, of course, is the main reason why. Not to slight Big Ben Roethlisberger and his offensive brethren, but this 2009 Steelers team begins and ends with the defense just like its 2009 Super Bowl odds hopes. Big Ben has been murdered in the pocket this year, part of it his own fault and part of it a porous line, but the pass protection has improved dramatically over the past month and this element of the Steelers’ attack will only help their 2009 Super Bowl odds ambitions.

But anyone that has seen this team play and knows anything about Super Bowl odds knows that it’s the defense that does the heavy lifting. And while everyone knows that the Steelers have the best defense of the remaining 2009 Super Bowl odds contenders, what many Super Bowl odds fans may not know is exactly how good this unit really is. This is not some merely “good” defense, it is one of the best in the history of the league and will be the key factor in any success the team might have in the upcoming 2009 Super Bowl odds.

So how good is this unit? Well, in the context of the 2009 Super Bowl odds chase, the best question to ask is not which statistical categories it leads the league in. Rather, which categories doesn’t it lead in? No other defense among the 2009 Super Bowl odds contenders can boast such flashy numbers. Points per game, total defense, total yards per game, rushing yards, passing yards, the Steelers lead the NFL in every category and that’s a frightening thought for potential 2009 Super Bowl odds opponents. The only categories that the Steelers don’t lead in are sacks (2nd) and interceptions (3rd).

With those kinds of stats it’s easy to see why people in Pittsburgh are so excited about the potential Super Bowl odds opportunities ahead. But this unit is about more than just the numbers. No other team is as successful or as intimidating. This team brings the lumber week in and week out and the intimidation and pain factor are also very important tools that the team brings to the 2009 Super Bowl odds competition.
