The defense played extremely hard and kept us in games but look at the numbers and they were just above average These numbers would probably be even better when you look at how many times teams started with short fields. Plenty of times when teams could run 3 plays and be in FG range. Quote Link to comment
KCBuc Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 How they run the 3-4 and need of a dominant NT are my concerns. Quote Link to comment
