They are slightly more aggressive than that.
Sure, a team scores, but the drives have been lengthy and burn enough clock that it makes them basically useless.
A six minute TD drive in the 4th qtr when you are down by more than two scores?
By all means, have at it.

They’re bending but not breaking. I love it.

and on top of that, they're making plays when they NEED to. Timely sacks. Strip fumbles. Batted passes. Passes defensed. They're doing it all.
