A defense doesn't play to bail out an offense, then play to get off the field regardless of who is under their center or how their offense is performing.

True but a good scoring defense will make the job easier for an offense. Won’t work forever but so far so good. Not going to win a shootout like this but if the penalties are cleaned up our offense can produce points. With our D 21 points should be enough to win every game.
I expect our running defense to return to form. No small feat shutting down Zeke like that.
