But they sure showed up in that fourth quarter.

across the board.

And now, can they put it together for four quarters?

I don't know.

That seems like a stretch, you know, based on what we've seen, the overall evidence of the season.

But it was at least a little bit of encouraging...

Because honestly, at halftime, I was like, you know what?

This defense, it's been a great year, but they kind of seem cooked.

I think probably most people watching that game felt that way.

So they deserve credit for what they did in the second half.

And if they could still put that together, maybe carry over some of that confidence, I'm not going to write them off just yet.

I will say this.

Credit to Pat Norton, who pointed this out yesterday.

Grady Jarrett did not take his usual rest day yesterday.

He's been taking a rest day almost every week.

He practiced yesterday.

Yeah, take away the old.

Refreshed Grady Jarrett.

But maybe it's just a sign that, hey, these guys are just like, hey, look, this is playoff time.

You got to kick it into another gear.
