LMAO, Tomlin with pure comedy.

Tomlin is giddy about the prospects of winning 12-11 every week which would be historic.

Speaking of historic proportions.
AI has it wrong in terms of best ever D in points allowed.
Steelers should be #2, not the Rats.
9.9 < 10.2

The Atlanta Falcons defense from 1977, nicknamed the "Grits Blitz," allowed the fewest points per game in NFL history with just 9.2 points allowed per game, according to StatMuse. In the modern era (since 1961), the 2000 Baltimore Ravens defense ranks second, allowing 10.3 points per game, according to a Reddit thread and StatMuse.

Here's a more detailed look:

• 1977 Atlanta Falcons: This defense, led by coach Marion Campbell, is widely regarded as one of the best in NFL history. They allowed just 9.2 points per game, a record that still stands.
  
  
• 2000 Baltimore Ravens: This defense, led by Ray Lewis, was dominant, allowing only 10.3 points per game. They also set records for fewest rushing yards allowed (970) and fewest total points allowed (165) in a 16-game season.
  
  
• 1976 Pittsburgh Steelers: This Steelers defense allowed 9.9 points per game.

The Falcons was a surprise for me. Let alone it was in 1977!
I predict this D will prove Tomlin right and we allow < 9.2 !

Also missing the 1975 LA Rams, who allowed 135.

1) 1977 ATL (129)
2) 1975 LA Rams (135)
3) 1976 Steelers (138)

What would be interesting is to see advanced stats that filter out defensive and ST TDs against, as well as short fields following TO’s.

They'd need to post 6 shutouts to beat the 5 from the 1976 Steelers defense and of course 9.9 points a game average.

I doubt they could post one shutout.

They’d have to top 11 shutouts by the Pottsville Maroons! lol

The 1926 Pottsville Maroons team holds the NFL record for most shutouts in a season, with 11. The 1932 Chicago Bears are second with 8 shutouts.

In the modern era (since 1970), the 1976 Pittsburgh Steelers had the most shutouts with 5.

But I’ll take the 6 which would certainly be of historical proportions!

Missing where?
I was talking about the NFL record for least points allowed per game by a D.
Atlanta is #1 at 9.2

We need to top that or the Steelers 9.9 to make NFL history!
