It's close, I give the edge to the defense. Knocked a few key players out of the game. Wasn't expecting them to hold the Titans to such a low score. Offense didn't capitalize, they could have had very high scoring game but ended up with our usual 20 point, give or take, game.

Very clearly the defense, imo.

 

[multistage]

Defense shut down a team that features a power running back and a speed back. And they also have a very mobile QB.

In other words, the kind of team that guts us for 250+ on the ground.

Defense played far beyond expectations. There were some sorry attempts at tackling (rooks), but overall I’m pretty pleased. I expected much, much worse.

Now, about that QB killing D line.....

Th defense, the Titans were held far below what I expected on the ground. The pass defense allowed 5.8 y/a and of course had 3 INT's. They also had 2 big 4th down stops, although the need to get better on 3rd down as the Titans were 6 of 14 and if they were a better team it would have been a tougher game.

 

[Aqua Shadow]

Defense because the turnovers (INT, Fumble and 4th down stops) caused the offense to be in position to succeed. And they didn’t really do that well.

I’m mad about the INTs on offense and letting the backup QB get so many damn first downs on defense. Dion Lewis is little ****er too. I mean he is a small quick receiving back that gutted us in the middle too many times for my liking.

But overall Reshad Jones and Minkah Fitzpatrick had such good chemistry that they won it for their side of the ball. I wanna see Minkah play more FS but I understand we are bandaid-Ing our poor Corner spot. I like Robert Quinn a ton too

Offense moved the ball but missed too many chances.
Defense played well at times but missed too many tackles
Grant ran one back but we gave it up.

All 3 were good enough to win and bad enough to lose.
I believe playing at home really helped us win the game.
