Who is the best team in the NFL?

Ben Nance's  Statistical Best Team in the NFL (Week 7)

I was interested in where the teams ranked 1-32 statistically. There are power rankings, win/loss percentage's and the pubic opinion of which teams should win week in and week out but who is undeniably the best? I decided to take the official stats on NFL.com, add the ranks of the Overall Best Offenses' and Defenses' and come up with a ranking of teams from best to worst (the lower the number, the better the team is). The results were interesting to say the least...

#1. New York Giants (7 points, #1 Defense, #6 Defense)
