The two teams we started against this year finished 2nd and 4th last year, respectively. Better than ANY defense we played during our run.

Of course Dak struggled twice against the Giants (who finished 2nd) and the Vikings (who finished 6th) at the tail end of that streak and everyone asked "is he for real". He then played exceptionally well against Tampa Bay, Detroit and GB to close the year.

Going forward, we play the Cardinals (who finished 14th last year but have way more talent than that), Kansas City (who finished 7th), Seattle (who finished 3rd) and New York (who finished 2nd and we've already beaten). Nobody else on paper has the defense to even have a chance of executing the game plan NY and Denver utilized.

We started the year with a brutal stretch of great defensive teams.

If the OL doesn't figure out their issues, we are going to have issues with Philly's front seven as well.

The OL doesn't have issues. 5 guys can't block 8 or 9 defenders.

They have issues. The two replacements are struggling right now.

And if you don't think Philly's front seven will be a tough situation for our OL, then you are just not paying attention.

Collins held his own against the best pass rusher in the league today.
