I liked seeing Nelson hawking some balls and the Williams pick was impressive, but turnovers aside, it wasn't a pretty game. Didn't stop the run, didn't stop the TE, allowed 356 yards of offense. On average that'd be 16th in the league. There were long stretches of time when Ben had like 6-8 seconds in a clean pocket even though he was behind a Frankenstein O-Line.
The struggles of the game are definitely more on Hue/OL, but not going to pretend the defense was lights out or something.

That said, 7-0, Who Dey!
They ran it even less than us an we were shutting them down the entire day on the ground, aside from the Williams run.
Sorry, they didn't even, "bend but not break," today, they did a great job; yards mean dick if you're keeping them from scoring points and that's the most important point of any defense. D was good today.
Except for Vinnie Rey. Terrible. Absolutely terrible. That statline you threw up there of Miller? Vinnie was in coverage against him all but ONE of those catches and he allowed Spaeth to go another 4 yards forward because he's too small.
