‘”I think Sean and the defensive coaches there have done a real good job getting that defense prepped for the season and having the success they’ve had,” Payton said. “The one thing that jumps out is the amount of takeaways that they have at this juncture of the season, I think it’s 17, but Tre’Davious is someone we liked a lot in the draft, and I think they drafted a real good player.’

‘”It’s been a little frustrating for us up front,” defensive tackle Jerel Worthy said. “One thing, the ball’s coming out faster than it did the first few weeks of the season.

We’ve seen more seven-, eight-man protection than we have in the past, as far as first and second down.”‘
