The heyday of the big, famous NFL defenses with all those cool nicknames was back in the days before 1978.
The Fearsome Foursome, Steel Curtain, Doomsday Defense, etc.: all those legendary defenses terrorized offenses before the rule changes that put the focus of pro football back on the offensive side of the ball.
Let's face it, fans love offense. That's what sells tickets.
That doesn't mean there are not great defenses today. There are. There are also great individual defenders, and they are as celebrated in many cases as the offensive stars.
Here are some of the non-offensive NFL records that stand a good chance of being broken this year.
