The defense for the NFL was just as consensus as it was for the offense:

LB:

  • Ray Lewis: (I mean the name speaks for itself still to this day; Lewis was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2000 and 2004, and the Super Bowl MVP in 2001)
  • Derrick Brooks: (1 only four players in NFL history voted to 10 consecutive Pro Bowls; 6 All-Pro, NFL Defensive Player of the Year award (2002), and helped the Buccaneers win the Super Bowl)

DB:

  • Champ Bailey (Best shut-down;8 Pro Bowls this decade and 38 INTs; 06 10 INTs and did not allow a touchdown all season
  • Charles Woodson (very underrated has gone strong from the begining of the decade to now. The most consistent corner this decade; although he does not have any WOW stats; 37 INTs 6 of them TDs, 20FF, batts down passes(105), he has 550+ tackles )
  • Ed Reed (5-time Pro Bowl selection NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2004; intercepting 43 passes in only seven NFL seasons)
