They gave up 6.7 YPC and almost 50% 3rd down conversion. They also applied 6 QB hits while converting one sack and 3 TFL. They played really well on pass D. The second half I'll concede they played a lot better, but by and large still had issues with stopping the run and third down conversions for the game.
Really they had issues on two running plays, the reverse to Duverney and the Dobbins carry, outside of that they had 22 attempts where they held them to an average of 3.8 YPC which is solid against that rushing attack.
The 3rd down issues were a real problem.
Honestly though, if you told me going in we'd turn in that kind of defensive performance I would have never believed we'd lose that game by 24 points.
