It's amazing to me that they went from a low-middle pack defense to elite (like maybe all time great elite) in one offseason, with the same DC and no real major personnel changes. Add to that the fact that the offense has been frequently terrible, putting even more pressure on the defense, and it becomes even more amazing.
