Just to name a few.

We got away from conservative play calling and used the pass to set up the run...something I've been preaching for a while...and not only did we win, we killed them.

Funny, we still had more rushes than passes today (35-29), and gained a nearly identical amount of first downs by rushing (11) and passing (12).

I honestly didn't see a radically different game plan out there, just much better execution especially by Campbell who was very sharp.

You're gonna see what you want to see...I put it all in front of you in two different threads. While the first half of the Giants game had a similar plan, the 2nd half was amazingly different...and I'll say it again...no one complained about the play calls in the first half of that game, it was the second half. If you really can't see the difference between the 2nd half vs the Lions and the 2nd half vs the Giants, I can't help you. It's GLARINGLY obvious.

I completely agree with you. Gameplan has been similar all year. Extremely stiff D is the difference between wins this year. Take away the Giants 2nd half and this is a top 3 D.
Look at the past three years. More rushes = win.
I think going on 4th down is evidence that Gibbs has confidence in the D to shut down anyone and wants to prolong every drive as long as possible.
