Definition of DEFENSE

According to Webster it is not a verb in any way. And frankly I cannot remember it being used as a verb until Aikman and Buck got into the FOX commentating booth.

BTW, defence is the UK English spelling, defense is the US English spelling for the word (similar to colour vs color). And also in the UK, defence is strictly a noun, and the associated verb is to defend.

defence - definition of defence in English from the Oxford dictionary
from your own link if you scroll down:

2
defense
verb de·fense
Definition of defense
de·fensedde·fens·ing
  1. transitive verb
  2. : to take specific defensive action against (an opposing team or player or an offensive play)

And yeah,

Aikman blaming this on the field is embarassing. As if Carolina does not have to play on the same piece of turf.

The Trenches.

The one thing the Quarterback-Driven League can never change.

Games are still won and lost at the line of scrimmage. Carolina is DOMINATING the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. The battle in the trenches is as lopsided as the score is right now.
