I keep wondering if, despite the NFL "emphasis" on illegal contact calls, if the number of uncalled PI penalties I've seen this year has anything to do with it.

They always have a high-sack ceiling with Myles Garrett healthy, but they are a bit vulnerable to good rushing attacks. I agree that he handled his relationship with the qb suboptimally. Daniel Jones looked like a Pro Bowler last month against the Vikings, and the Vikings defensive backfield is worse now, so he might look like 1st team All Pro this time around.
