Am I wrong?

1. They got healthy

2. They now have the right players in the right spots. Jones has been an absolute monster

3. The younger guys (Gay/Bolton/Fenton/Sneed) look soooo much more comfortable playing the game. They're just reading and reacting right now. It's beautiful to watch.

4. Spags has been aggressive and letting his guys play and the results are showing up on the field.

5. We've been somewhat fortunate over the last 3 weeks with facing some teams that have had some key injuries/players out....that said, you still have to execute on D and they are ABSOLUTELY getting it done.

Yeah, this. This is what happened.

Oh, don't forget Dirty Dan and Mike Hughes got their reps chopped. That helped a lot too.
