We've reached the championship round, and so far explosive offensive attacks have garnered most of the headlines.

The Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts have been lauded for their stellar passing games, while the New York Jets have been equally praised for relying on an old school offensive formula to make a deep playoff run.

While some continue to debate the merits of each of these units, I stand with the forefathers of the game when I declare that the defenses of these respective squads will determine which teams advance to the Super Bowl.

With that thought in mind, let's take a look at each of the defenses remaining in the playoffs and the obstacles they will face Sunday.........

As for me, I think it will come down to turnovers and special teams.
