Everyone knows the old saying “defense wins championships” as it is used repeatedly to rationalize why a certain team has a chance at winning the championship. With the Portland Pythons currently sitting in the driver seat for the second playoff spot in the NFC North, it is hard not to think of that old saying. As of week 12, the Pythons have only scored 203 points, making them the second lowest scoring team in the entire league while leading the league in interceptions thrown. TO make up for the deficit in scoring, the Pythons have built the best scoring defense, allowing only 200 points over 12 games. Additionally, the Pythons lead the league in tackles for loss (TFLs) and interceptions, shows the Python defense is an aggressive unit that does not try to stop the opposing offense, but give their offense good field position. To get to the championship game, the Pythons will have to go through the Kansas City Coyotes. During the season, the Coyotes and the Pythons went 1 – 1 against each other, meaning the game is likely to be a tossup. However, the Pythons ended the season with a 2-0 over the final two weeks while the Coyotes suffered a devastating loss against the Grey Ducks and the Luchadores, both teams which did not qualify for the playoffs.
