As crazy as it sounds, Wade Phillips will begin his 40th NFL season in 2017 with the Los Angeles Rams after taking the defensive coordinator job in January. Most recently, Phillips commanded the Denver Broncos historic 2015 defensive unit that led them to a Super Bowl 50 Victory over the Carolina Panthers.
To help put the 2015 Broncos into perspective, Phillips’ defense shutdown three of the highest scoring offenses in the league, allowing only 14.6 points per game in the playoffs. They defeated the likes of Big Ben, Tom Brady and Cam Newton while having one of the worst offenses in NFL history.
