The defense was significantly closer to great than bad. For starters, the Lions averaged 33 ppg at home last season. They have one of the best offenses in football. And while they battled injuries, so did we. It's also worth noting that Vaitai and Montgomery only missed their final two drives—they still scored 10 points.
Considering Witherspoon got picked on early and recovered, I'm feeling pretty damn good about our defense. We just need to learn how to tackle tightends and stop hitting QBs five seconds after they've gotten rid of the ball.
