the defense definitely played well overall, especially against the run.....BUT, I'm kind of taking the performance with a grain of salt.
They sure weren't very good in the 3rd quarter, allowing the Whiners to get into the end zone easily after the fumble and then allowed back to back 6 plus minute FG drives in that same 3rd quarter. I also think that Shanahan played it pretty conservatively in the second half once they got a 2 score lead. In their defense, they had to have been tired as the offense was so inept, and were't able to hold on to the ball at all...
Brought back some really bad memories...
