Not allowing a RB to reach 100 yards since 2017? That's insane/incredible considering the RB they have faced. Elite level back bottled up.

Scouting/drafting/acquiring good free agents/coaching (Nielsen) and players making plays on Sundays.

That D line is nasty. Cam J was great coming off the edge yesterday.

A lot of that has to do with the fact that coaches have backs that split carries. Everyone wants to run the running back by committee thing now days.
