Which of these best describes our "brilliance" in our losing effort against Baltimore?

I wouldn't call much of anything outside of our victory over the Steelers brilliant last year, but as to the game in question:

I'm simply pointing out many will use stats the way a drunk uses a light pole; more for support than illumination.

For instance if I wanted to support a good effort I could say we held Baltimore to 30 yards below their season average; not 8 as previously reported. I could also point to the fact about half the total rushing yards surrendered that day were on 3 runs. Take those away and we did a great job. I could point to how we kept a team with 24 rushing TDs for scoring anything on the ground

Conversely if I wanted to point to a poor effort I could say 162 yards at 6.2 YPC
