For Bill Kratz, Redbone and the rest of the Steeler Fan base here
The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense wasn't only the NFL's best this season, it was one of the best statistically in league history. A scant 55 yards prevented the Steelers from accomplishing something no defense has done since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger.
If Cleveland's Jamal Lewis hadn't rushed for 94 yards during Pittsburgh's meaningless 31-0 victory Sunday, the Steelers might have become the first team since the merger to lead the NFL in the four major defensive statistics: total, rushing and passing defense and fewest points allowed.
The Steelers finished with significant edges in three categories - their 237.2 yards per game average is the lowest since the 1991 Eagles gave up 221.8 - but they allowed 54 more yards rushing than the Vikings.
Still, the Steelers (12-4) know what that means as they begin preparing for their divisional playoff game Jan. 11.
