Would we be the first #1 defense to repeat?

[hieroglyphics]

I'm looking through history, has any defense whose been #1 in scoring & yards allowed two years in a row, also carried its team to back-to-back Super Bowls?

Perhaps the Steel Curtain did it in the 1970s, I'm terrible with looking up historical stats though.

Nothing from anyone??? I don't know where to look, either, but I'd love to know.

I think we would be, at least going by points per game:

This is an article from 2008, so of course it doesn't have us listed, but it appears the Steelers would have been the closest to going back-to-back with a #1 defense (won in 74 but were #2 in PA (Rams were #1) won in 75, lost in the AFCCG in 76, won in 78).

only the 1954-1955 Cleveland Browns led NFL in PPG & YPG In consecutive years and won 2 titles. We would be the first in modern era!!!

85-86 Bears won 1 and the 69-70 Vikings won 1.

I thought this was a good article about the Defense.

I believe you meant the Kansas City Chiefs. Vikings haven't won a Superbowl however they have been in 3.
