Lets take a look.

2012- Held the Vikings to 10 points, but then had no answer for the read option. Primarily Eric Walden's issue, but nearly everyone on the D was at fault once.
2013- Lost wildcard weekend, held 49ers to 23 points...20 most of the game.
2014- Held the cowpies to 21 points, got 6? picks against seattle in championship game held seattle to 7 points through 3 Q. 22 in regulation. Offense couldn't put it away despite all that.
2015- Held Redskins to 18, Held Cardinals to 10 in 3 Q, 20 in regulation...again, offense couldn't (wouldn't?) put it away...lost in OT.
2016- Held Giants to 13 points, but stunk on ice the next 2.

So, looking at 2013/14/15 I would say the D was up to the task in the playoffs.
