Despite offseason upgrades and high hopes, the unit looked disjointed, especially with key players like Quinnen Williams and Von Miller failing to generate consistent pressure. Rookie Caleb Downs flashed promise with a sack and forced fumble, but turnovers were squandered—only one recovery after multiple forced fumbles and a dropped interception. The reliance on zone coverage without a reliable pass rush left the defense vulnerable. While it’s too early to panic, the team can’t afford another slow start—especially with a home opener against Washington looming. The defense must turn things around fast or risk becoming the team’s biggest liability. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
