You're right, of course.

Counting regulation (and the relevant OT periods), all the defense had to do in that game was stop them from scoring a TD 1 time in 6 tries. They gave up 6 TDs.

Just one stop and we win the game. Sure, the offense could have scored 1 or 2 more TDs, but they did score one at the 2 minute mark and in 5 of 7 OT periods, so 6/8 is pretty damned good.

2/8 seems to be not that good when it is a "must have" stop. (ETA and, for good measure, gave up a 2-point at the very end - now, that's a push, because the offense didn't convert their 2-point in that same OT period.)
