Looking at that again, there are 5 players from each team in the end zone. Normally, you see 7-8 defense versus the 5 eligible receivers for the offence. Detroit has more players near the line of scrimmage than they have in the end zone.
Why rush 4? They aren't likely to beat 5 guys to get to the QB anyway. Rush 3, have another guy to tackle QB if he takes of, and have 7 in the end zone, or just put 8 in the end zone.
