The defense only allowed 9 points in the second half, which under most circumstances is completely acceptable.
Much more concerning is that the defense wasn't that great vs. Jacobs run game, and that they only got 2 sacks, though they really got three, and they did seem to get some pressure as the game went on.
Adams was a problem, though the stats say he didn't necessarily have a great game. He was targeted 7 times, but only caught three balls. Unfortunately, two of them went for TDs, but he is an elite receiver, and we don't have an elite DB, so things are going to happen. But I have faith that Spags will find better ways to cover Adams next time and he won't have the same kind of success in January.
Also, our secondary is still very much a work in progress; I expect they'll be much better by mid-season, which is normal timing for a Spags defense.
