football games lead offense win
When we have a 21-point lead at halftime, those are football games we have to win on defense. Our offense can go out there and go three-and-out every series, but defensively we should still go out there and be able to win those football games.

We still gave up way too many points. We gave up (two touchdown drives of 70-plus yards). We gave up too many big plays. We've still got a lot of work to do.
