All well and good but it does not speak to the situation - you put your defense on the field leading by a TD or less. The expectation should be that most of the time they do their job and close it out. Well the last four times before today they were called on for this they failed. Today they finally succeeded. 

There is this weird idea that the defense cannot be criticized if the offense is struggling. It simply isn't true.
