I reckon they just let Johnson do his thing because he wasn't damaging. He only required single coverage as the DTs were pretty average and Stafford was more often than not throwing under pressure. Don't forget how good Johnson really is too. Suh has given me the poos this season. Bring on last season's form please. It looked like the Falcons just played really conservative and did just enough for the win. Every time they were third and long Ryan managed to throw a first down.
Reckon that if Lions can manage to hold on to Stafford and Johnson, with a fit Pettigrew and an in form Suh, once these geriatric DTs bugger off and we get a real FB, we will finally have the nucleus of a good side. Keeping my fingers crossed that since the best QBs still have a few seasons left in them and there are a heap of really good rookie QBs coming through, that we'll be able to hold on to Stafford after this season.
