WHAT!?!?! The Cheats forced 1 punt! That was a stop!
Seriously, PHI was only 10 / 16 on 3rd downs (62%).
However, PHI was 2 / 2 on 4th down bringing that success rate up to 12 / 16 or 75%.
And, they were able to kick FG on another 3 4th downs after failed 3rd downs bringing the success rate up to 15 / 16 or 94%.
So, yeah, the Cheats defense was only able to force an ultimately successful outcome (punt or turnover) from 1 failed 3rd down play. That is pretty shitty defense.
Good luck, Lions. You might need it.
