Simply going off the stat sheet, it would seem like the Lions’ defense was steamrolled into oblivion by the Green Bay Packers at home in Week 5 and got bailed out by “lucky” big plays. From the Acme Packing Company game summary post: “In the end, the Packers outgained the Lions 521-265, out-possessed the ball, out-rushed them and out-threw them. Green Bay was the more efficient offense on a per-play basis, more first downs and more sacks.”
You know what? That is absolutely what the stat sheet says, but the game is not decided entirely by countable stats.
