New-look defense stepped up in victory

[Turbine]

Neither was the kickoff return. Defense held when it really counted. And we won a close one on the road! Nice!!

Can't overstate the road aspect.

Another 2/4Lane Monkee off the back.

Defense gave up 1 TD and held 3 drives to FGs. Lots of bending but got tough in red zone.

Defense was rather amazing ... when all factors are considered.

And one of the field goals was already set up by offense fumble. When recovered, Arky St was already in FG range. Defense made me really nervous on last drive but upon further review, they played a really good game especially in limiting damage.
Our special teams need more work to become consistent. But that 50 yard FG turned out to be critical.

Des coached our defense to success - when you know how to coach and when to tactically utilize timeouts in one’s pockets yiu place your players in a position to succeed - that is what coach Des did

He has made great strides in the course of this season alone.

I think if we win this last game, and another couple games fall right, we can climb up to second place in the West.

I'd a never thunk it possible.

Ahhh, good point. I wish football would adopt a rule from baseball, that the defense cannot score

That would be a dumb rule
