Steelers Defense:
The mid-2000s Pittsburgh Steelers defense was a dominant 3-4 unit built on fire zone pressure, two-gap trench control, and coverage disguise that made their system nearly impossible to scheme against. Under Dick LeBeau, Pittsburgh finished as a top-five defense in points and yards allowed multiple times and won Super Bowl XL.
