The Patriots and the Rams (disgusting) will play in the Super Bowl on February 3rd. I will be rooting hard for the Patriots because I cannot stand to see Stan Kroenke win a championship after actively tanking in St. Louis before taking the team to LA, breaking every so-called relocation criterion on the way, and running a smear campaign against the city of St. Louis.
Any way, now that THAT is off my chest, what we saw this weekend was that defense does not matter that much. No team in the top 10 of defensive DVOA was in a championship game this weekend, and 4 of the top 5 offensive DVOA teams were in.
