The defense did an okay job against a very good offense. However, with the additions of Haynesworth and Orakpo, I expected more. The defense failed to consistently pressure Manning, had trouble containing off-tackle runs, and made sloppy mistakes (e.g., missing tackles). I hope it rebounds.

BTW, it's just week 1 and I expect this stat to improve dramatically, but the defense is currently the 19th ranked defense.
