They say defense wins championships."They" obviously don't play fantasy football.By definition, the game we love so much is almost exclusively driven by offense - sorta like the Lions - with just one of eight or nine slots typically reserved for a team defense. Often selected in the last round or two of the draft, many players tend to view defenses as interchangeable on a weekly basis, based on matchups and which units are trending up.Case in point: just watch the scramble for Kansas City's defense on this week's waiver wire.Indeed, for one weekend, at least, several defenses demanded their due.At the top of the heap were the ball-hawking Chiefs, whose eight-turnover, two-touchdown, three-point-yielding pummeling of the Jets produced enough points to offset a career day by the weekend's top fantasy wideout, Marvin Jones.The Vikings continued their early-season dominance by sacking Cam Newton an incredible eight times - one of which was a safety - picking him off thrice, taking a punt return to the house and holding one of the NFL's top offenses to 10 stinking points.
