This is a surprising stat considering how much yardage this team allows. The defense is playing even better than it seems.

    Yeah, it truly comes across that way when you’re watching the game too. Completion, completion, completion.

    Then the other team gets in the red zone and we clamp down. I almost feel like other teams have more success taking shots at the end zone from outside the 25 than they do inside the 10!!

    But also bottom 5 on passing yards allowed. It’s the splash they allow, they just give up too many big throws. same with the run defense, too many big runs allowed have skewed the numbers. Contain the big plays and this defense is top 5 for sure

      I wonder what it would be like if we could possess the ball longer on offense and work the clock more

      We desperately need Minkah back to cut down on both of those. He is huge in the secondary at taking away the deep threats and will probably be vital in reducing huge runs down to solid runs
