Game stats do not tell the entire ‘story’ of how the win came to be. The Giants committed three turn overs that made the Lion’s win possible. Lion’s ‘run’ game and fewer penalties negated the Giants advantage in passing yards and game total yards.

Lion’s secondary pass defense was still lacking. Scrambles by Jones were also timely. Lion’s defensive pressure on Jones was adequate and inhibited completion attempts.

This game was and ‘oddball’ in that the Lion’s gave up over 400 yards of offense but still won the game. Definitely not a winning team strategy because the ‘football gods’ can easily bestow inflection in the opposite direction.
