Lions feast on Viking’s really bad day. Hints of what was to come began with the first errant throw by S. Darnold and pass drop by usually reliable J. Jefferson. Down hill until games’ end. Timing was just a ‘little off’ on everything the Vikings tried. Credit the aggressive ‘balls out’ Lion’s defensive rush. Not many ‘sacks’ but minimal maneuverability for execution by S. Darnold.
On game’s offensive side, the Lion’s offensive line paved the way for J. Gibbs to sprint, slash, dash and bully his way for a personal best effort. Downfield blocking aided in J. Gibbs’s success.
The best Lion’s defensive effort was holding Vikings 0-4 red zone opportunities.
As reported elsewhere, coach D. Campbell expressed that Lions and Vikings would see each other for a rematch in the near future. Detroit’s old QB M. Stafford may not be onboard with his assessment.
