- Big third quarter by DeAndre Ley. He has displayed a rare nose for the ball this season. His interceptions are not a coincidence. He is always seems to be around the ball in pass coverage. He is also a sure tackler. Loved the big (and clean ) hit by Stephen Tulloch along the sidelines of Le'Veon Bell. There was an inordinate amount of concern about the Lions' linebacker play this season. It was unfounded.
- The goal line stand by the Lions was an example of what is different about this team this year compared to many years in the past. That simply doesn't happen on the road in years past. But it did help the Lions a great deal when Ben Roethlisberger missed a simple TD pass.
- A TD on this drive would mean much, much more than a FG. Key moments coming up
