Dang, that hurt. I was down 17-13 against Denver halfway through the third and then gave them scoring drives of only 38 yards, 25 yards, 76 yards, and 28 yards. These turnovers and special teams problems are killing us.
My defense is angry. We're 9th in yards allowed, 5th in first downs allowed, 4th in third down conversions, 12th in passing yards allowed, 10th (T) in interceptions, 6th in QB pressures, and 4th in rushing yards allowed, and 3rd in rushing average. Yet we're 23rd in the league in points allowed.
The only problems we have are that QBs are very efficient against us. We're 22nd in yards per pass attempt, 17th in opposing QB completion rate, and 21st in opposing passer rating. But even with that we're still in the top half in passing yards yielded. We're really scratching our heads in how to fix this.
