That’s 2.5 per game. If we had averaged 2.5 for the entire season, then we would have 37-38 on the year. We would have the 10th most in the league.

You can’t overstate how impressive the defensive turnaround has been. You also have to flat out ignore all cumulative stats for the season. We’re much better than those numbers show.

Very similar to 2019 in terms of the turnaround on defense. The low point of both seasons happened in Nashville. Let's hope we end up seeing the same result in February 2022 that we saw in February 2020!
