The league’s top offenses are receiving a lot of attention as Wild Card Weekend approaches in the 2023 NFL season, but defenses frequently win series in the postseason.”Defense wins championships, but offense sells tickets,” as the proverb says. Bear Bryant’s comment will be put to the test this winter, and based on the numbers, a number of clubs will be praying that it isn’t true this year.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ decline toward the end of the 2023 NFL season has received a lot of attention, which is concerning to supporters.

With a yardage allowed per game ranking of 26th in the NFL, Philadelphia heads into their Wild Card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a little nervous. With 51 touchdowns given up, the defense must improve.

It will be fascinating to see whether Nick Sirianni can alter the narrative in Florida this weekend, since there are some crazy rumors circulating that his job rests on winning this game.

In addition to having a strong season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers advanced to the postseason primarily because they were the best team in the weak NFC South. They will host the highly pressured Eagles if they have a 9-8 record.This may be a gorgeous mess of a Wild Card game between the two leakiest teams in the playoffs in terms of yards per game. With the Bucs and Eagles having given up 85 points total this season, expect touchdowns to pour down.

Thanks to the Tennessee Titans’ victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Pittsburgh Steelers narrowly qualified for the playoffs and are currently a strong club.The Steelers, who had lost their previous two games to the weakest teams in the NFL, turned things around offensively under Mason Rudolph and strengthened their defense with the return of Myles Jack.Superstar T.J. Watt’s injury, which will keep him out for at least the next week and maybe the entire season owing to an MCL sprain, is a major concern. Since Watt was drafted, the Steelers have gone 1-10 without him in the lineup. With snow and strong winds predicted, they will need to battle hard in the Buffalo tundra if they hope to go 2-10.

The LA Rams were a formidable team in the final stretch as their studs returned to optimal health at the appropriate time. Despite their tendency to give up scores, they are as formidable a foe as anyone in the Wild Card.

The Rams need someone to step up since Aaron Donald leads the defense and is always getting double- or triple-teamed. As Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff play against their former teams in the highly anticipated Lions-Rams game, defensive pressure will be crucial in deciding the outcome.

Conversely, the Detroit Lions were exhibiting exceptional defensive play at various points during the season. Between mid-November and Christmas, they had a difficult stretch and gave up a lot of points, but they appear to have bounced back.
