That's 10 or fewer points allowed in 5 of their 12 games.
20 or fewer points in 7 of 12
24 or less in 11 of 12.
Only AZ broke 30 points against us all year, and that was without some of our best secondary guys.
On Offense, we've scored 30+ in 7 of our 12 games.
We've been been held to less than 24 points only twice. We were 1-1 in those games.
Overall, we're playing like you'd expect a #1 seed to play. Now you know why this team senses that a ring is within their reach. They just keeping getting the job done one week at a time.
Actually the two games where the team gave up 24 points it was not the defense that gave up 24. In both those games the offense coughed it up for 6 the other way. The only team to actually exploit our defense was Arizona. Other than that game, I'd say our defense has played better than most people had hoped for.
I'm not sure I could be upset about 3 points yesterday. Had to be upset at all about a blow out win against the Browns.
