Pass Yards Allowed
Week 1: 333
Week 2: 297
Week 3: 139
Robert Spillane, who was horrendous in coverage the first two weeks, had an interception.
There's an old adage, “if you want to play better defense... play less defense.” Our offense fumbled the ball 5 times, they gave the Steelers five more opportunities and possessions.
After the defense settled down they didn't allow a TD from the second quarter through almost the entire fourth quarter. The defense can't fix our offensive mistakes.
The bottom line is coverage and tackling improved.... despite no Gonzo, or what I told people last week. Execution has to do with the entire unit improving, it's not just about one player.
If our offense doesn't turn it over five times, the Patriots absolutely blow out the Steelers.
