Totally agree. D has been doin a fantastic job so far.

Navarro Bowman still up there in the tackle category. Indy has 2 players way far out in the lead but that's because they suck.

Good win!

I agree w/ Baltimore having the best overall D - I could argue either way on run D but I believe Ravens have the better secondary. Our D isn't giving up the points when it matters and that's what matters, but I hope we address the secondary before trade deadline and in offseason.

Can't remember the last time our D did so well against an elite passing attack, especially at the end. We always seem to fold, like against Dallas and the Saints last year.

While Stafford still had 293 yards, he only had 5.9 ypa. You throw 50 passes, it's not good if you don't have well over 300 yards. A lot of credit goes to the DL for good pressure, 5 sacks, but our secondary played great as well.

THIS! I'd like to see Rogers and Goldson re-signed to 3-5 year deals. Also probably time to consider giving Brooks an extension since he is a FA this offseason I think. Would be smart to maybe get Bowman for cheap now also. Team is really coming together especially the defense.

Everyone praises the front, but the secondary needs to get some love too. They look to be covering well and aggressively. In fact so well that the refs are giving them the benefit of the doubt on potential interference calls. That is a good thing.
