Numbers explain it

Here’s a stat that explains why the Lions have won just two of their first 12 games. While they have outscored opponents 74-72 in the first quarter, it’s downhill from there.

In the second quarter they’re been outscored 118-53 and in the third 85-31. It’s not quite as bad in the fourth where the opponents own an 83-48 edge. It all adds up to losses.

After the loss at Cincinnati coach Jim Schwartz was asked what was up with his third-quarter woes. He had no answer. It won’t get any easier going up against the Ravens’ tough defense on Sunday at Baltimore.
