So I guess we're good in a phone booth but in space...not so much.
This does not correlate well to yesterday's game.
They gave up three TDs in the red zone.
They only got one stop in the red zone. The two field goals were outside of it.
They bailed themselves out by getting two turnovers and making that one good stop at the end. But they 26 points, gave up almost 450 yards, and spent 2/3rds of the game on the field. And this wasn't primarily the offense's fault; they simply could not get themselves off the field in the first half.
This defense got lucky or did things right at the most dire moments with a problematic defense a lot last season and won. The same thing is happening this year, but the offense is scoring more and Wilson is more locked in.
It's fun but hopefully something changes on defense. They consistently allow other teams to do whatever they want. Luck is critical but at some point they're going to need to play decent to good.
And obviously the run defense isn't magical like so many were mentioning. Teams had just been chucking it a lot.
