It's not a coincidence that four superior quarterbacks are the final four left chasing a Super Bowl title.

We've all heard the adage: defense wins championships. In the NFL, that doesn't necessarily apply. The Packers allowed an average of 24.2 points (21st out of 32 teams) and 363.9 yards (22nd) during the regular season.
