Good reminder because most people dont dig into profootball reference, and go by mythologies

People think the 80s bears was THE D ignoring NYG and even 49ers Defenses.

The 86 Giants would have been #1 in every D category but the 86 Bears had the best D of their era, allowed even less points then 85; went 14-2 without any offense.

"Finesse team" 49ers, lol Outside of 88 those niners teams that went all the way were both top in D and very good at running the ball.

So when the 1990 Giants Bellichiks best year in NY they played the Niners 2x in 1990 its 7-3 and 15-13 slugfests.
