Yet the fanbase declared it a shit defense for allowing a big 4th quarter by the Bills, and for giving up points vs the Chargers and Bengals on the road.
When the defense gets shredded this year, we hear "duh, that's what happens when you play good offenses!"
Go figure.

They played a bad game just like the offense did in Indy.
They held the Bills to 24 points and Colts to 20. Guess who lost those games?
