ARLINGTON, Texas -- The defense believed they could get a stop. They looked at each other, confident. This was the position they wanted to be in -- game on the line, needing to contain Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott to wrap up a needed road win.
Then the plays started. And the Detroit Lions, as they've shown in three of four games this season, struggled to stop much of anything. So many of the concerns about Detroit's roster before the season showed up in the final drive in Dallas. The Lions couldn't rush the passer.
