Here’s Prime Time...
Speaking of the 4th quarter this is how many points our defense has allowed.
vs Raiders 0
vs Cardinals 0
vs Chargers 3
vs Vikings 3
vs Seahawks 0
vs Broncos 10
vs 49ers 0
vs Packers 7
vs Saints 10
vs Seahawks 10
vs Chiefs 21
vs Lions 3
Our defense gives up an average of 5.5 points in the 4th quarter. Throwing out the Chiefs game which to me is an outlier, that leaves us an average of 4 points given up in the 4th quarter. Talk about tightening up.
One point of concern is that most of those 4th quarter points came in 3 of our last 4 games.
As far as the last 4 games is concerned, sure anything can happen but over these last 12 games we have seen either the offense, defense, or special teams have poor performances and then watch the other units bail them out. The Lions game is but one example of that. I would be surprised if that doesn't continue.
