Hhhhmmmm I think you are mistaken.
According to:
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/ram1999.htm
the Rams defense allowed the 4th lowest points scored on them in the NFL in the year they won the 1999-2000 super bowl. So they had the 4th best defense in the NFL that year in points allowed (which is the best measure of defense).
That era Rams are the perfect example to explain my rants about the importance of defense.
The 1999-2000 Rams had the #1 scoring offense and #4 least scored on defense in the NFL and won the Superbowl.
The 2000-2001 Rams again had the #1 scoring offense, but the #31 out of 31 teams, most scored on defense. Needless to say they did not win the superbowl in 2000-2001.
Which proves you can have the #1 scoring offense in the NFL, but you need a good Defense to win it all!
