You might as well have just went to sleep by the end of the second quarter. And for some of us I know we did. Besides being a one sided game where the Seattle Seahawks were the only team to show up and play everything else, the event was pretty bland as well. The commercials were old and mostly reruns, and the half-time show was lacking pizazz. Bruno and his crew came out in tight fitting gold and silver pants that at several points looked like they were on the verge of splitting in two. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just came out shirtless and only sang one song, and it wasn’t even “Californication.”
But despite being a rather dismal game one thing can be taken away–defense is no longer dead in the NFL. Going into this game, the Denver Broncos were the highest scoring team in NFL history. The Seattle Seahawks were this year’s number one defense.  For the last ten or so years the trend of professional football has been aiming at big number games and large TD passes. Where less and less emphasis has been put on the defense. Seattle definitely went out and shattered that idea with an almost complete shut out of the Broncos.  Not too many people were thinking that defense was going to play a major factor (even the number one defense) most sports announcers and commentators were putting their money on Denver. This game shows that the old saying, “defense wins championships” is still true today.
