Defense

Grade: A-

It was discussed earlier this week that this defense is hurting as it is missing Clark Phillips III in the passing defense but the pressure up front is unaffected. Six players with 4+ sacks on the year and a strong linebacking group with a tone of pro concepts. The running back duo of Singleton and Allen will be facing a defense they have never seen all year in Utah.
