They were built like the Saints and Colts that won super bowls just a few years later.
Score 35, give up 28.
Fun fact. That 2005 defense held opponents to 17 or less 7 times.
They only gave up 28+ 4 times. Again, not saying they were good, but they had their moments.
Anyways, we really got away from my original point. Palmer himself played poorly against the Steelers, in prime-time and in his playoff game. I'm not sure what defense has to do with anything other than to divert from that fact.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
