Against the Steelers we only had 7 completions for 89 yards and allowed 2 sacks in just 13 pass attempts.
Against the Ravens we only had 6 completions for 48 yards and scored only 3 points.
Against the Cowboys we did have 28 completions but they averaged less than 8 yards per completion. That is the main reason we only scored 7 points.
We did not look that bad against the Texans, but their defense ranked 27th or lower in "hurry percentage", "pressure percentage" and "QB Knockdown percentage".
Going off memory in those games you listed
In that Steelers game no way was ZT going to let pixie arm
Findley throw it more than 20 times.
I think the Steelers got him on coverage sacks
The Ravens just dialed up pressure from everywhere
The Bengals got down early by a big margain.
I think Tee got hurt and that really hurt the offense
You had your choice of Erickson and Sample to throw too.
Both have the explosiveness of dime store squirtgun.
The Ravens were dropping 7 8 on coverage.
The Cowboys game was marred by 3 straight fumbles
Allen couldnt get any big plays downfield. I think the Cowboys
We're playing a 2-deep zone.
Texans game the Bengals ran the ball well which helped
Cool off anykind of pass rush
