Total noob to the sport, but a massive stats head. How would you order these? Do one or more stand out above the rest?

    The 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.

    Secret Base did a great video on them: https://youtu.be/UAL5X3TRA2A?si=aAsLLZ4Im5EsWsNo

      The chargers have been just masters of being statistical anomaly for a while it seems like. I remember like 4 seasons ago they lost a ridiculous amount of games they had like a 90%+ statistical chance of winning.
