The sustainability of this defense...

But, anyone who came out of today feeling good about the defence... well, they're easy to please let's put it that way. An abysmal effort made salvageable by turnovers. 

If we can return to keeping teams under 24 points a game, then giving up the mountain of yards we do is a bit easier to cope with. 

You are really sitting here saying the offense is the reason we lost that game yesterday? 

I'd say it's on both units, but more so the defense. They gave up over 540 yards of offense and the most explosive plays in the moden era. It was an absolute shit show by the defense. They were gashed by one of the worst run offenses in the league. There was zero pass rush and Stroud could do whatever he wanted. 

Yes they turned the Texans over a few times, but they also gave up 30 points. One of those turnovers was on he 9 yard line, really hard for the offense to cash in on that when they are backed up so much. 

The defense is lucky they didn't give up at least 40 points. They are not a good unit.
