Burrow just covers it up, healthy Burrow and they're in the playoffs trying to drag this D to the superbowl somehow. Also there are other problems we have that the rest of them don't, like a shitty punter who can't flip the field or pin teams. There was a Steelers game earlier this year they almost had 2 safeties, I can't even imagine getting 1 on our team lol.
Late into this season they were averaging giving up 8-10 explosive plays per game, just 1 of those plays can end your superbowl run in the playoffs.
I defense has been the biggest part of our playoff runs the last 2 years. Your not gonna lose some key parts without taking a step back. When the offense isn't scoring its only gonna make this defense look worse. Look at the Steelers they're defense started looking alot better when we were down a couple of scores. But yeah we will definitely need some additions to improve our defense for next year.
