This Bronco’s game demonstrated how to hamper the effects of a mobile QB. Let’s hope the Lions remember the tactics for the next three games, especially with Dallas’s D. Prescott

Not a lot of ‘flash or dash’ in this game. Only basic execution demonstrated by solid offensive blocking, crisp pass routes, defensive swarming and with only a few exceptions, crisp intelligent passing connecting to sticky hand receivers. Running back performance proved the old axiom that solid running opens up passing opportunities.

Having viewed earlier Viking’s games, the Lions should have success on mid field pass completions. If Viking’s linebackers compensate, D. Montgomery and J. Gibbs will extract more than a ‘pound of flesh’.

This season’s culmination is is the hands of the coaching staff. It’s their job to keep the team and its performance of this side of the ‘Looking Glass’.
