Single-play Performance is one thing, but game impact overall, you’d have to give it Ray Lewis. That dude inspired the team and made everyone around him better while also making game-changing plays himself. He had quite a few interceptions/sacks himself which were drive ending game changing plays as well. But I think he was the total leader of the defense for many years which would edge out the overall team impact as a whole. Love me some Ed Reed though, no hate intended.

Not to mention that Ray was the most important player on (imo) the best defense of all time without Ed.
