Playing with the lead helps the defense. The defense can dictate and go after the QB.
as well as limiting the number of possessions by moving the ball on offense. Less opportunity for the opposing team with less possessions
The one thing, however, the health of Quinn put a big ding in the defense. He could finish a 3rd and long drive with a sack at any time and sometimes strip the ball. That kind of playmaking will be missed if he is truly physically not the same.
