This whole conversation is hilarious. Has Dak ever played poorly in a big game? Yes, of course. But he led the offense to 30 points in a game where his #1 was gone before the half and his #2 wasn’t even trying. It was a game when our OL was punked all night so we couldn’t run much, and both OTs were really bad. He threw 2 INTs that were right in the hands of Pickens and Flournoy. Detroit only punted twice and their last punt was with 9:23 left in the second quarter. On top of that, the punt and kickoff coverage teams gave Detroit 261 yards in kickoff returns and a punt return of 21.
Nate Thomas gave up 8 QB pressures and a sack all by himself. Steele gave up another 6 pressures and a sack.
We haven’t had a ton of Dak hate this year, but it’s insane that you guys come out of the woodwork after a loss when Dak was the only reason, besides Lamb in the first half, that we were even in the game.
