Our secondary, well there's nothing more that needs to be said as we all already know that the secondary especially CB needs upgrade. The defense played well enough to keep us in the game and it would have been dominant if Caleb didn't wiggle out of a few sacks.
Our offense wasn't good as before, but that's to be expected against a pretty good defense, plus JD's injury. Although, we were in red zone 5-6 times and we couldn't score a TD. The false start penalties didn't help. I know we have been pretty good with red zone most of time but we must find a way to take advantage of those opportunities when we play against good defenses. Hopefully Lucas's injury isn't serious or we will get Coleman back for the next game.

I think it goes to the make up of the team. Bit like some of the the best teams through the years; if you can win when you play badly (though in this case we were not THAT bad), then look out everyone when you're playing well.
