My .02 The defense was BaLLING. Other than letting LaPorta run amok, they were clearly committed to keeping Gibbs and Montgomery from beating them. Good plan. I've believed for a long time that Jared Goff is a guy that wilts under pressure. So the defensive gameplan was stuff the run, take away the play action and exploit the weak spot on the offensive line. and get in Goff's face. It worked pretty well. McCarthy wasn't THE reason the offense had success, but he was A reason. Good to see a solid four quarters from him. Good to see the last quarter of the bears game wasn't the fluke. He still has a lot to learn. That INT was more on him than Nailer, threw it behind him. On that INT, I thought Nailer caught it. had the ball in control in his hand, knee hit the ground (down by contact) then the dback wrestlled the ball out of his hands. This team outplayed the Lions in all three phases. Pryce was awesome. Blocked FG (the kicker kicked it way too low if our interior Dlinemen can get a hand on it). Nice to see our Oline play a complete game, keeping Hutchinson in check is nearly impossible and they mitigated his impact well. I'd like to see more out of our passing game with JJM...but that will come. I hope Aaron Jones is healthy for the next game. Mason is pretty good but I think we are much more effective with the 1-2 punch and Jones is dangerous on passing routes out of the backfield. Gotta give these guys credit, they came hungry, focused and angry. And they took it to the Lions...
