2nd in scoring defense, 16.6 pts/g

2nd in total defense, 262.8 yards/g

1st in yards per play allowed, 4.2

3rd in first downs allowed per game, 17.2

6th in 3rd down efficiency, 36%

2nd in Sacks, 18

All while only having 4 turnovers forced by our defense.

So, while they aren't great at generating turnovers, they are great at creating pressure and denying yards. If they can get a few more interceptions or fumbles over time, they could end up being the best defense in the entire NFL.

I'm very happy with these numbers. Hopefully, they hold up against Pittsburgh in 2 weeks.

3rd down efficiency is what catches my eye. You have got to get them off the field. This has killed us in the past. 3rd and long and we gave up the neccessary yardage.
Also I'd like to see more turnovers.
