The past three weeks, Wilks’ defense has been elite at everything. It has given up a league-low 10 points per game, and 7 of those 30 points were a pick-six from Brock Purdy. It also has generated 5 sacks per game – 2nd most in the league. Plus an average opponent’s quarterback rating of 66.0 – 3rd lowest in the league. Plus 71 rushing yards per game – 3rd lowest in the league.

Our defense beat the shit out of a mediocre offense. It’s great that we dominated them but the expectation for Wilks is to lead a Super Bowl caliber defense and go toe to toe with the big dogs. He hasn’t done that yet.
