Looks like the over/under is around 80 :)

Ranking All 32 NFL Defenses From WORST To FIRST After Week 2 (msn.com)

32. Los Angeles ChargersVery little has gone right thus far for Brandon Staley and the Los Angeles Chargers in 2023. LA has fallen into an 0-2 hole in a very competitive AFC West and its bottom-tier defense is a huge reason why. The Chargers are allowing an astronomical 438.5 yards per game through two games.

27. Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota’s defense has been terrible so far. Its secondary has gotten eaten alive to the tune of a 68.3% completion rate and the defensive line has really struggled to get pressure.

Has Mattison broken even one run “loose” this year? In his career? He’s signed for peanuts so I get the savings but there are other backs all over the league for the same price range with a lot more juice. I’m bummed the FO stuck with status quo and resigned AM without meeting others. Mostert is made of glass but has been healthy so far and looks electric in MIA. 1 yr/$2M this past offseason. Tbh even Chandler on our own roster has looked better.

I like AM,  we won't see home runs,  but will see a lot less strike outs.  If we had even an average IOL he would be just fine.  I like that he doesn't have the negative runs that we saw from Cook.  Not much dancing for AM,  this play actually surprised me as he typically comes downhill so fast he doesn't have time to look for back side openings.

Believe it or not, according to “analytics”, that move improved the odds of winning 4.7%!
Go figure…  :o
