Well it wasn’t pretty but a win is a win, especially against a quality AFC opponent. The offense was clutch when they needed to ice the game, you can’t say enough about that. They held up their end of the bargain. The defense sure looked like it looked last year in the good ways (turnovers) and the bad ways (zero pressure, completion after completion). And the third down defense was epically bad, statistically worse than any game last year. But a win is a win.
