The defense follows the offense’s aggressive approach, blitzing at every moment, whether it seems opportune or ill-timed. The unit’s strength lies in its secondary, giving defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale all the faith it can cover for an extended period of time. The team’s midseason acquisition of Marcus Peters has brought a little more flair and swagger to a defense that struggled to make plays. Peters is one of the savviest corners in the league and isn’t afraid to jump a route he believes he can take the other way.
