Last night was more of what I expected from the defense. Not that I ever thought I'd see 8 QB sacks in one game, but that kind of pressure was what I thought we'd see earlier in the season. Lots of stunts and twists from the line, attacking the offensive line. Some linebacker blitzes, but nothing too crazy exotic.
I wouldn't call one game a positive sign, it needs to become a trend, but taken alone that was one of the most dominant defensive performances I can remember. Even their sole scoring drive required what I thought was a questionable defensive hold call, or we might have shut them out.
And yes, their offense really is that bad, but we made them look even worse. And that's not what usually happens with our defense, going back years. That was definitely not one of our traditional "Career Day!" defenses.
