Thanks to Denver's dominating Super Bowl win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, we can finally close the book on the argument of which team has the best NFL defense ever.Well, I'm not going to close the book, but the are. After Denver's Neil Walker Jersey 24-10 win in Super Bowl 50, several Broncos defensive players came out and made their opinion clear: The 2015 Broncos fielded the best defense in NFL history."In my opinion, we're the greatest defense to ever play the game. Ever," linebacker , . "It's a bold statement, but top to bottom we have the greatest talent -- from rushers to safeties to linebackers. Better than anybody's ever done it."The Broncos didn't just dominate the Super Bowl, they pretty much dominated every Juan Lagares Jersey team they played all season. Not only did the Broncos rank No. 1 in total defense (283.1 yards), pa s defense (199.6) and sacks (52), but they were also top four in three other categories: No. 3 against the run (83.6), No. 3 in defensive touchdowns (5) and No. 4 in points allowed (18.5 points per game). They also held Carolina, which had the NFL's top-scoring offense (31.3 ppg), to just Michael Conforto Jersey 10 points."We proved we're the No. 1 defense," defensive end . "If you ask me, or anybody on this defense, we're the best to ever do it."Linebacker , who tied a Super Bowl record with two fumble recoveries, put his team's New York Mets Jersey defense just slightly ahead of the 1985 . "You're going to ask me? No. 1. No. 1 in my opinion, over '85Bears," Trevathansaid, . "If not No. 1, No. 2. I feel like we did a good job playing our games. It wasn't ever pretty, but when you put it in our defense's hand we always come up with that win."CBS Sports senior NFL writer Pete Prisco took at the Broncos defense after the Super Bowl and wrote Keith Hernandez Jersey that the Broncos might be the new gold standard for modern NFL defense.But are they the best ever?Let's not say yes, because we're all going to need something to argue about this offseason.
