Question: After a strong first half, giving up only a field goal, the Lions' defense gave up three TDs and a field goal on Washington's last four possessions in the second half. How much cause for concern should there be about that?
Answer: Plenty. Playing with a lead, especially a 21-point lead, should work to a defense's benefit. But the Lions still lack a consistently good pass rush, and that was part of why Washington was able to rally. They sacked Washington quarterback Alex Smith only twice.
Without a pass rush, Smith was able to complete 38 of 55 passes for 390 yards. The biggest breakdown was on a fourth and 13 in the third quarter. A 15-yard completion to Logan Thomas – an ex-Lion – gave Washington first and goal at the two.
J.D. McKissic, another former Lion, scored Washington's first TD of the game on the next play to make it 24-10 and start the comeback.
