B -. . . . Linebackers

With no pass rush from the front line, there was more pressure put on the linebackers. It wasn’t a standout game, but this unit was solid, forcing one of the Patriots two turnovers.

Darron Lee forced a key fumble and was solid in the middle with Demario Davis, both having four solo tackles apiece.

Like the defensive line, the linebackers, especially the edge rushers, were unable to take advantage of a weak offensive line. Still, this unit did well in covering the middle of the field in pass coverage.

It wasn’t a great day, but given the dreadful performance of the defensive line, this unit did the best with what they had.
