I may be wrong but from the sounds of Fitz's numbers we did not get an ounce of pressure

Zero pressure. Surprisingly our run D wasn’t too bad. We got killed by the big play through the air.

Yes, we were killed by the pass but our run defense was still bad. Look at the average per play by their RB. Look at our LBs not making tackles or doing it well down the field. Same as the last couple years.
