Last night's game proved one thing: Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.

Absolutely correct. In football, good defense gives a team an edge in neutralizing a good offense, and defensive plays can go a long way towards making up for poor offense.

Even the last play of the game embodied that principle. Cie Grant breaks in and rushes that Dorsey pass, and it drops. If they don't get that kind of defensive pressure, Dorsey can hit a receiver or scramble in. And they stuffed the two running attempts prior to that play. Doesn't get much better...
