That stat is probably similar to all NFL teams. Field position def matters and in tight games, the special teams often make the difference.
Also worth noting that for a defense like ours that is more bend don't break, forcing the opposing offense to have to go the length of the field works in our favor. It makes them have to do make more first downs, more snaps, more chances to make mistakes.
