However, in the midst of all the negativity, there was one significant positive: hiring former St. Louis Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo as the new defensive coordinator. Spagnuolo is a very aggressive defensive mastermind whose defensive concepts, such as “sugaring” the interior gaps, can be traced back to his mentor, the late Jim Johnson.

One touchdown and one field goal each half.
Getting a turnover or two would be a plus.
I think the offense can do the rest.
Fundamental tackling goes a long way.
