It reminds me a lot of last year's defense, but to me it seems like everybody was a lot more hungry, and everybody wanted to make plays that game."

"I didn't expect for it to be that many yards," Ingram said. "It was crazy. It was really surprising. When I first heard the number, I had to turn and double-check."

Let's hope Ellis Johnson has figured out something to prevent what happened last year from happening again.
