minus-squarehactar42@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoThe old saying is offense sells tickets and defense wins championships. Although football, more than most sports, is truly a team effort. Just look at the 2010 Chargers. They had the #1 offense and defense and didn’t make the playoffs because of their special teams.
