Super Bowl 50 is in the conversation.
Denver's D.L. had 5 sacks of Newton and forced 4 fumbles while holding a 15-1 team to 21 points below their season average. And they did it while their own offense only had 194 total yards and left them a >5-minute gap in Time of Possession.
GM Howie Roseman is a football genius! ND's next GM should come from his staff..

More like 33-34 years ago
Philly's d-line looked like what they had back when they had a line of Reggie White, Clyde Simmons, Jerome Brown, and an underrated Mike Pitts (he'd regularly occupy double teams), back in 1991. They didn't have to blitz, and when they sent Seth Joyner in there, he'd often times steal the sack away from one of the linemen.
Did the Eagles ever blitz? I don’t think so

Not once
All of that pressure was done by the linemen only, and the linebackers could simply either squat in coverage (giving Travis Kelce a hard time), or spy on a specific back.
It was a masterful job by the defense.
They were awesome. I was hopeful for history to be made but feared the Eagles would slaughter them.
They did and Hurts made a shitload of plays and his QB runs were more of a killer at key times. Like I have always said QB runs generally are a huge key to keep drives moving. The bomb he threw was a perfect pass and just added icing to the cake.
go Birds,it was an awesome day
