Controlling the line of scrimmage is a vital key to success for any football team. This is why dominant pass-rushers have the ability to completely alter the outcomes of football games. If a quarterback is under pressure and can’t get in a groove, an offense’s game-plan can crumble quickly. And when a defensive coordinator sees that game-plan crumbling and the offense becoming one-dimensional, they start licking their chops. The teams above are getting after quarterbacks consistently. This leads to overall success. The records of the great majority of the teams above support this conclusion quite well.
