We are big dogs in week 10, but to our suprise we get win #14 over 7-1 Washington, 17-10. Our running game returns, and McG doesn't make many mistakes, and we hang on to win at the end.
Week 14 sees win #15, 23-7 over a hapless New England team. We move to 4-10 overall on the strength of a solid running game and a late 91 yard pick for a TD.
Back to back wins are nice, especially when the second is against a team that waxed you earlier in the season. Win #16 overall comes week 15 over the Giants, 37-13. In one of our best scoring performances ever, our defense is actually the real star of the show, getting 5 sacks, 3 picks and a fumble returned for a TD. Our offense was only so-so, but didn't need to bring much to get it done.
5-11 season again. I don't see much more from this team, we might be capable of 8-8. 7 of our losses were by 7 points or less, but 3 of our wins were by the same margin. Our offense was generally good, McG had over 3200 yards passing, 23 TDs and 11 picks. McM had 1200+ rushing but only 3 TDs, and Reeves caught 109 passes for almost 1600 yards. Nothing good-special happened on defense though, and thats where we lost games probably. Two guys topped 100 tackles, but thats not always good. Nobody was even close to 10 sacks, and our pick leader was 4. To win 3 of those 7 close games, we need more of both of those. We'll see how next year goes, I guess.
