All 4 teams left are all highly ranked defenses.
Stats do indicate a lot, however when looking at stats, one must consider the opponents faced to determine these stats.
For example, out of the 4 teams in question, there is no doubt, that the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers had pretty tough schedules, where the Jets and the Steelers had an overall easy schedule.
The Steelers are pretty amazing against the run, but not so much against the pass, although they do get a lot of sacks.
The Clear #1 Rush defense comes from the Bears, again, not so much against the pass.
The Bears just take the ball away from you.
The Jets are a balanced defense... good against both the rush and the pass.
The Packers are the weakest of the four teams against the run.
They play the pass rush well creating interceptions.
In the NFC final, the greatest miss-match that i see, is the Packers OL vs the Bears DL.
Having watched both very closely, how could someone expect this line to protect Aaron against this monster coming to get him?
Add to this equation the fact that the Packers have no rushing threat whatsoever, the Whole Bears defense will be looking at Aaron.
He's in trouble.
