In a way, its being overlooked because of the offense. Here are some interesting rankings for our defense:

1. Interceptions #1 (7)
2. Defensive scoring #1 (24 pts with xpts)
3. Touchdowns against #1 (4) We have given up fg's but not many td's
4. Yards per game allowed #5 (299.7)
5. 3rd down pct #3
6. Sacks tied for #12 with 6
7. Yards/p #5
8. First downs per game #1 (15.3)

Good post! I've been wondering about some of this.

And to think, the defense should get better too. It took a couple of weeks with both Horton and Bowles before it all clicked.

Imagine what it would be with one elite pass rusher.

Thanks for posting this, I was looking at the numbers myself and just didn't take the time to post any of this.

The big negative is the 20 & 40 + pass plays we have given up, we are one of the worst teams in the league. Having said that many of those came in week 1 so we are improving. The defensive domination of the 49ers helped greatly with these rankings.
