They were only able to get 76 yards and 10 points from the turnovers, despite being the best field position they got of all drives.
As I see it, our defense allowed one bad touchdown on the first drive. The second touchdown was on a short field after the Craig Reynolds kick return fumble. Otherwise they allowed four field goals.
Allowing field goals now and then is OK because IMHO no team is going to come out and kick the Lions to death.
That 26 points number looks a little ugly, but IMHO our defense is an unsung hero in this one.
