I'd like to see our YPC allowed over the last half of the season when Houston was getting up to speed...I bet it was pretty good.

Well, we're one of six teams to allow zero runs of >40 yards, and tied for 10th in the league in >20 yard runs (allowed 10). Also, we were 4th-highest in attempts per game (31.8 rushes/gm).
Those stats would generally support your idea that our "total" rushing defense was hurt as a byproduct of our shitty offense.. but our YPC is middle-of-the pack, which doesn't really support PFF's "superstar" claim for our D-ends.
