Spags did a spectacular job without CJ.

But the question is, what did it take to generate that pass rush and blunt that rushing attack. Because I saw a ton of simulated blitzes and different looks, as well as Sneed and mcDuffie and Reid playing in/near the box last night.

Just how long can our defense keep that up? And what parts of the field were wide open because of it?

I think we got a little lucky that DET didn't run Gibbs more, and that they seemed to miss some of their WRs wide open at times.

Bottom line, I don't think the lesson from last night is "our defense doesn't need Chris Jones." But i guess we'll know for certain when we play NYJ in three weeks. Because if we can't pressure AR and he can just stand there and throw, or if he figures out the blitz pre-snap, he won't miss the opportunities that I'm certain Goff missed last night.
