This is a team that can hang with the NFL’s best offenses given the fact their defense was historically good in 2019 and looks even stronger in 2020. They weren’t splashy, but they stifled opponents often, which led them to rank fourth in the league in points allowed. The offensive side of the ball is a different story, and there is hardly a soul…
