Luck is - that's for sure.
Ndamukong Suh, who was penalized $30,000 for tossing Austin qb He Schaub the other day, sacked Fortune on his first breeze and he was hit and rushed many more periods by a hard-rushing front
On the game-winning perform, though, Detroit let Fortune run through a gradually crumbling wallet as the ultimate a few moments checked away and he took benefits.
''If the complete hurry does their job, he doesn't get free the struggle and he never discovers that recipient,'' Schwartz said. ''All activity, we targeted on getting away his step-up paths, and then on the last perform, we don't do it.''
Luck, who was 24 of 54 for 391 metres with four TD goes, created up for related a season-high three interceptions by increasing his past period great with his last TD on the successful, fourth-down perform that began with 3 a few moments staying.

Brown had at least 125 metres getting for the fifth directly activity, related an NFL history set in 1966 by Pat Studstill with the Lions.
''Calvin Brown is always a shiny identify,'' Schwartz said. ''Maybe I should have had him on protection for the last perform.''
Matthew Stafford, the No. 1 choose overall during 2009, was 27 of 46 for 313 metres with two TDs and an interception delayed in the first 50 percent that harm his crew's possibilities of including to its 24-13 cause.
Stafford also skipped Brown at periods delayed in the experience, such as on the Lions' last reviewing generate when he used behind him in the end area and that led to Jerr Hanson's 4th area objective that provided them a 33-21 cause with 8:41 staying.
Luck used his third TD complete to LaVon Brazill to make it 33-28 with 2:39 staying. Then, Chip Harris' inadequate punt from the 50 provided Fortune the football at his 25 with 1:07 staying and no timeouts and the qb drawn off another extraordinary complete.
