The Lions didn't need fireworks to get past Miami. A 19–9 victory did the job, with Jake Bates knocking through all four field-goal attempts.
Miami's defense also ended Jared Goff's 30-game streak of throwing a touchdown pass. Nice little achievement, but the Dolphins still went home with a loss.
What impressed me most was Detroit's defense. Jack Campbell, Kerby Joseph and D.J. Reed were all unavailable, yet the Lions still kept Miami out of the end zone.
Is Detroit's defensive depth becoming its biggest strength, or does the offense need to find its usual spark again?
