IMPRESSIVE win, here's why:

[Welshers2]

You go on the road to the other side of the country and knock off a 4-1 team who is coming off a huge win, and you do it the week after a heartbreaking loss. You do it with the much worse injury report, including missing your two (maybe even three, depending what you think of Riq Woolen) most important secondary players.

The D stepped back up in a big way despite being injured, holding a team that has been one of the NFLs better offenses to only 12 points. JSN continued to be one of the best WRs in the league (and now leads the NFL in receiving yards). Serious Sam continued to be THE GUY.

This is a huge win after a tough loss against a top team. The D is for real and it shows last week was a fluke. We were missing our guys last week and Mike got it together and brought a hell of a performance out of the defense.

4-2 this team is LEGIT. Like very very legit. I think they could play close with anyone.

 

[Welshers2]

Oh yeah, and 9 straight road wins. That's the longest in the NFL.

 

[Shane Falco]

I think DLaw means a lot more to this defense than I thought he would when he signed. Great stop by EJ to prevent the TD, that was huge. Great road win, that team was rollin'

Yep can't underestimate the impact he's made. He was great again today as was the whole pass rush.

Box score for the defense: 7 sacks, 7 TFL's, 2 PD's, 17 QB hits Coming into this game, Jax was the 3rd best rushing team at 137 ypg, and they just held them to 59 yards rushing

 

[James in PA]

We can hang with anyone in this league. Now get healthy and get the run game going!

 

[Hawkstud]

7 Sacks and a crapload of pressures...Defense showed up big time.

Yeah, a lot of talk about Lawrence looking 'off' with his passes.... well I think those stats you listed will do that to a guy.

Tampa Bay is seriously legit. I’m rooting for them HARD today to destroy the Whiners. Please do us a favor Buccaneers

No doubt Trevor Lawrence was definitely rattled most of the game but I just don't think he's a very good QB to begin with, that and his recievers dropped alot of catchable balls

 

[Atradees]

Nick led team in tackles

 

[HawkRiderFan]

Should the team get on a plane and fly around for an hour or 2 Sat before home games to simulate the road experience? I mean the Allen trust fund has enough to pay for that right?

 

[Followthelegion]

Great team win; defense showed up after the disaster that was last week.

The only negative ( but to me it’s a glaring problem) is the run game. Too many negative / no gain runs which really shows itself up when we are trying to run the clock out or in the red zone. If the team figures out a way to consistently run the ball effectively we will be a tough matchup for anyone.

 

[SmokinHawk]

Beat the absolute shit out of them. The score belies the story, that was a lopsided rout of a game. The physical side of the contest broke their spirit.

 

[MD5eahawks]

I thought the offense was gonna take some time to gel with all the new parts coming in but they really have done great.

I agree, this is a contending team on a level with any good team out there.

 

[Jerhawk]

Our Lawrence is better than their Lawrence

I had the same thought. And wear the away whites

 

[GemCity]

Rook was balling!!!

Jerhawk is the coaching staff hired back this week?

Yep. Yet again, they controlled that game.
