There are some easy to pin bright sides following an otherwise mixed bag of a day. They doubled their punt total from the previous month in the first half, and kept at it at the start of the second half with another three and out. They held the Lions offense to 1-6 on third down attempts. PJ Walker was willing and occasionally even able to push the ball down the field.
All of that should have added up to a dominant performance. Perhaps it would have with a healthier team. But Rhule and his staff need to learn how to produce a consistent product with what they have.
