Is the passion of the game as strong as it was for players twenty years ago?

Right, but what are the notable attributes of both teams? That ones that either most casual fans or the media gushes over? It's not defense. It's the offense. The quarterbacks, the numbers, etc. With the 49ers and Ravens, the "story" that the media would want to run with would probably be about two defensive oriented teams going at it. At least that is what I believe.
