All things considered the defense took a big step forward today..

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.

Very true. I'd add covering Andrews was a real problem (stop me if this sounds familiar lol). Just looked and KC gave up 7.5 to them, but of course they have a far better offense to keep pace. Getting pressure & 3rd down conversions are the achilles heal for this D.

I do really like how this staff seems to make good second half adjustments to, especially the defense yesterday.
