The difference is defense: Detroit held Joe Mixon to only 25 yards on 46 carries; that’s 1.8 yards per carry. The Lions picked off CJ Stroud TWICE.  That’s how you win even if your offense is sputtering.

No, Stroud just projected and threw two awful balls, with Goff doing the same on 3 of his 5.

Last night was absolutely NOT the standard any team should play to, both squads played like utter shit, outside of a handful of plays on both sides, of both units.

Mixon looked even worse (aside from his two passes) than he ever did here: I do watch the games so I know what's going on, but for all the talk that, "we made a mistake and let him go," last night was not indicative that we made any mistakes.

It was an entertaining game, but a ton of flukes, a ton of weirdness and just awful play for almost all of the game.
