When it comes to the gold standard of NFC defenses, it’s 28 years later and we’re still talking about those 1985 Chicago Bears. 
 
You remember, right? They dominated and shuffled their way to a 15-1 season and 46-10 rout of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX.
A member of that defense who helped beat the Patriots was a young linebacker named Ron Rivera. Now about to face the Patriots for the first time as head coach, his current team, the 2013 Carolina Panthers, stacks up well statistically to those ’85 Bears.
 
Obviously, at 6-3, the Panthers won't match the Bears’ record. But given their play, they should already be inspired by the top AFC defense of all time, the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, who went all the way to win Super Bowl XXXV as a wild card. Like the Bears and Ravens, with Mike Singletary and Ray Lewis respectively, the Panthers have that necessary do-everything, hardnosed anchor at middle linebacker, Luke Kuechly.
 
When it comes to passing challenges, what Marino was to the Bears, Tom Brady is to the Panthers. With Drew Brees also around the corner for a pair of games, we’ll soon find out if Carolina could be finer than even the legendary Monsters of the Midway.
