Overall, the team did not let this game spiral after just blowing a 21 point deficit from the Saints into just 3 points! They did not panic
Zero turnovers - they won the battle overall and we turned into 10 points. Good teams do this, this is how we went 8-2 down the stretch last season
We saw the defense come out ready to play, very different from our CHI and GB game. We were tormenting Carr. We were asking for this all week.
Irvin made a huge difference on 3rd downs and the rush showed. He literally took Carr out of the game, never want to see that, but it’s football.
4th qtr management, our coaches and defense helped the offense that was sputtering and really made every yard count for Saints. Plus Jacob’s would of had his 4th INT of it weren’t for that crazy play, with the weirdly shaped ball.
All in all, we saw the defense step up in light of the lynch pin that Analzone brings to this team. Offense showed good resiliancey playing in a hostile environment and pretty clean. Both sides of the ball we were not perfect, but we made some plays. Also, this teams identity is running the ball, and thats how we win games. We can’t complain about that because that’s our recipe for success. NO was stacking the box on our boys, and we still overcame
