I just watched the game over (damned I love TIVo). Kudos to the defense. Except for an 84 yard run, we held them to 40 yards net rushing in 19 rushes. At the end of the game this meant our defense was rested with a 36 to 24 minute time of possession advantage. In addition we held them to 6.6 yards/pass play (vs. 12 + for the rodents). This includes 2 blown assignments and that was a noteworthy performance.
In every game there will be some breakdowns. It often gets down to what happens with the rest of the game. The 36 to 24 tells a big, big story.
