1. 1975 Bills
2. 2004 Chiefs
3. 2002 Chiefs
4. 1985 Chargers
5. 1980 Patriots

The 1985 Chargers have the distinction of having the best offense and the worst defense that year…Simple Ranking System on PFR’s website show +8.5 OSRS and -7.2 DSRS. Yikes…I’m sure there’s a post somewhere in here about the most unbalanced teams of all time, I’m this Bolts team has to be one of them.

Whenever I think of those Chiefs, I think of that 2003 playoff game vs. the Colts. No punts. One Priest Holmes fumble and one missed field goal for KC. The Colts had six real drives where they were interested in scoring: 5 TDs and 1 FG.
