So everyone in the AFC is investing heavily in offense and just trying to get by on defense. In the NFC teams don't have to worry about a singular elite guy so they draft in a more balanced way. Just look at the last two drafts in the first and second round tells you all you need to know:
AFC - 21 defensive players (9 first rounders)
NFC - 37 defensive players (16 first rounders)
So it's not surprising the AFC can't do it, they don't invest enough capital to try and make it work.

The 2023 Ravens had the #1 Defense in the league. We were told before the AFC title game that the 2023 Ravens defense was one of the best defenses of the previous 30 years. They did a pretty good job overall in that game, holding the Chiefs to 17 points. Unfortunately for them, the Ravens offense crapped the bed with only 10 points. |
