I really wish Jones didn't crack his leg and hamper the playbook right before the entire team got butchered with injuries. It will allow this narrative to persist well into next season.
Not to say they'd go undefeated or some ridiculous shit... If the defense plays like last night, anyone would beat us. 6 turnovers like against PIT, anyone would beat us.
But to say the team was mediocre prior to Jones' injury is nonsense.
-They played some weaker teams and crushed them about as bad as those teams have had it all year.
-They went toe-to-toe with an NFC favorite (maybe led most of the game?) on the road despite AD Mitchell and it took our 6th option at CB tripping on his own feet and giving up a freak 88yd TD with 90 seconds left.
-They beat the Broncos and Chargers who are a combined 24-7 and are the #3 and #4 defenses in the league. And the offense in particular lit both of them up - most yards given up by both teams, most points LAC has allowed, 3rd most DEN has allowed.
