[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 187508, member: 195"] Yikes! As Brett Favre said yesterday, there are still some things they need to "clean up," and that's one of them. Somehow I think it's just a quirk, because wasn't the defense shutting teams down in the fourth quarter before the bye week? And since the bye week, there were two games when the defense was very stout in the fourth quarter: the Broncos scored 3 points and the Vikings scored zero. Of the three games where they haven't been so good in the fourth quarter, I think the reasons were different each time, so hopefully this is not a trend that will continue. The Kansas City game was not good, as they allowed KC to actually take the lead with a couple of quick TD strikes. But the Carolina game was pretty much over by the fourth quarter, and Carolina had to chew up a lot of clock to get that one TD. Against the Lions, I do think the injuries on the D-line and especially in the secondary had a lot to do with those late TD's. If people get healthy, the defense should be fine late in games.
