"The difference between the teams that are left and the Dallas Cowboys is that all of these teams are capable of winning football games when the offense is not playing a high level. The Rams forced three turnovers against the Bears on the road, including an interception in overtime that set them up for a game-winning field goal. Props to the Rams defense. Three big 4th-down stops, three takeaways and a huge OT stand. They won that game for them."
"In a game where the Pats were trailing 10-7, they had a pick-6 that gave them the 14-10 lead, and they never looked back. They proceeded to have four interceptions in that game against the Houston Texans. Say what you want about the call in overtime that helped the Broncos beat the Bills, they would not have been in that situation if it was not for forcing FIVE total turnovers in that game to beat Josh Allen."
The Rams, Broncos, Seahawks, and Patriots advanced by relying on defense to win games when their offenses struggled. The Rams forced three turnovers against the Bears, including an overtime interception, plus multiple fourth-down stops that set up a game-winning field goal. The Patriots produced a pick-six and finished with four interceptions against the Texans. The Broncos forced five turnovers, including two interceptions and three fumbles, to defeat the Bills. The Seahawks held the 49ers to six points. These defensive performances created scoring opportunities and protected narrow leads, compensating for imperfect offensive play.
