Quote:Yeah was not his day by anymeans... The Lions D looked pretty nice today tho!

 

From my point of view,  this was probably the best Lions Defensive performance this century.  As well as the Lions Defense played in the first 5 games this season,  the unit was on another level today.

 

Teddy Bridgewater made a bad read on Glover Quin's 1st QTR interception in the Lions end zone.   The 2nd interception,  late in the 2nd QTR,  wasn't Bridgewater's fault.    The ball deflected off RB Matt Asiata into the well position LB Tahir Whitehead.    It was a ball any NFL Offensive skill player should catch.   Thankfully,  it wasn't caught as the entire complexion of the game changed as a result of the interception.    The 3rd interception was as a result of a deflection by DE Darryl Tapp on a 3rd Down and around 2 yards to go play.   Whitehead also came down with that interception.   While QB's need to find an open throwing lane,  it was easier said and done considering how well the Lions Defense was playing at or near the line of scrimmage.   Bridgewater's lack of experience showed at times today but most of his supporting cast on Offense had a very long afternoon.
