If you've watched enough pigskin over the course of your life, then surely at some point you've heard the old phrase, "Defense wins championships." It's often attributed to legendary Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Bear Bryant, but I find it hard to believe that nobody before the six-time National Championship winning coach uttered those three words together.
But since we're on the eve of another NFL postseason -- and because this is a Houston Texans-centric website and as we've covered at length here at Toro Times, the Texans defense is arguably the best unit in the NFL -- I'm left wondering how true this phrase actually is.
