Good observation.

The DB who struggled the most by far for the Lions in the 2nd half was CB Colby Richardson (# 24), an UDRFA from LSU, who the Lions signed early last week.  He was totally overmatched, including missing a tackle following a completion to WR Elijah Cooks, that resulted in a huge gain that set up the Jaguars final TD.  The two CBs that started on the outside, Starling Thomas V (#49) and Steven Gilmore (#36), are also UDRFAs. But both of them have performed well to the point that Thomas very likely will survive the cutdown to 53 and Gilmore is on the roster bubble. 

Overall, in this game, the Jaguars depth was much better than the Lions depth, with the exception of Special Teams.  The Lions Offense was overmatched by the Jaguars Defense in the entire game.
