Isn't bad against the run, per Bill Connelly's stats. They're #17 in "success rate" allowed (which are defined as plays, basically, that keep you ahead of the chains -- 50% of needed first down yardage, 75% of needed second down yardage, 100% of third and fourth down yardage). Still pretty good at preventing explosive plays; #34 at explosive rushing plays allowed.

Curiously their passing defense has a brobdingnagian gap: #7 on success rate allowed when the opponent passes...and #113 on explosive plays allowed.

If these stats are predictive, we might see another disjointed game Saturday -- a lot of plays that go nowhere followed by big booms.
