Just like the Jets did the previous week their QB got rid of the ball very quickly. We're only 16th in overall defense. 5th against the pass and 31st against the run (LA Chargers). But most importantly we lead the league in sacks and takeaways. If the front 7 can be more active against the run we will be an elite defense. Our defense becomes more opportunistic when we have a solid lead and the opponent becomes one dimensional.

We're tied for 2nd in fewest points given up per game. That's the most important stat.

We're 4th in points scored too, and some of those are defensive scores.

The takeaways statistic is also very important because who wins the turnover battle usually wins the game if they are not equal. So is leadingĀ  the NFL in defensive touchdowns.

I also hate the "16th in overall defense" crap. It counts both pass and run defense. What matters is which one we are better at, pass or run.
