And no, our offense has in no way been forcing teams to be one-dimensional. At least not so far.

Much more impressive is our third/fourth down defense allowing a new set of downs just slightly more than once every five times. Ultimately, that stat is more indicative of how the defense is playing (instead of a bunch of garbage yards or three broken plays that account for 25% of all the yards allowed on the ground.
