They were 5th against the run and 30th against the pass, I believe. But, definitely, the splash plays were the difference. Sacks and turnovers had dried up for the last few years. 48 sacks this year and I can remember 3 interceptions in the end zone (Cardinals, Bengals, Browns). The defense made some plays at the right time and with as much youth as they have you'd hope we'll see more improvement.
