Was the backend the only position group that did their jobs ?

Yes they gave up some plays but I think anyone would’ve signed up for holding Reed to less than 60 percent passing , 2 interceptions, 202 passing yards and not letting craver or conception get over 50 passing receiving yards. Outside of a rub crosser route and a bunch formation catch surrendered, Delane , Pickett and woodland didn’t give up many completions. The defensive ineptitude was purely on horrendous linebacker play and awful run fitting by the d line . There were multiple plays Reed held onto the ball forever, nobody was open due to good backend coverage and then he would just take off.
