The ravens. Any team that can win a superbowl with Trent Dilfer at qb and a horrendous offense has to be the best.

the Monsters of the Midway Chicago Bears

The Steelers were outscoring teams with just their defense in the early seventies. Late seventies they got that good offense, overshadowing their defense some. But the early Steel Curtain was totally dominating.

Franchise I would say the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have always had a formidable defense since I can remember. Though they are not the Steel Curtain anymore, they have consistently been good on the defensive side of the ball.

The 2000 Baltimore Ravens were the Best Defensive team of all time.

I have to go with Alph W. The Steel Curtain of the early 70's was probably the best defense of all-time.
