bingo

Greg Williams cost us a Super Bowl in 2011 when he went all out blitz against the 49ers on that final drive. Prevent defense and it's 3 and out, or at least stop the drive well short.

We were rolling that year, Giants in the dome, then Patriots

lets do it now with a great defense!
really proud of that front four

It's building a standard and a strong level of consistency.
