I did think the defense played with much more fire and aggression, which was needed to keep the game close, especially since the O failed to show in the 1st half.

I think Paulie G had to pick his poison.  Make them have to drive the field and not give up the long pass plays.  They played the run pretty well most of the time.  It was the longer runs that were damaging.  The reverse was a back breaker too.
