Seemed like Minnesota was very handsy there…… I’ll take 3. Good call by Campbell to not keep risking it and just take some points. Was bound to bite us eventually.
I don’t love our chances in the second half. It seemed like Minneapolis was able to make the adjustments after the first quarter that Washington made after the first half.
The offense needs to get clicking and outscore them, because the defense is likely going to be porous again in the second half.
I don’t think I’ve ever had full faith and confidence in the Lions offense like this. Massive credit to Ben Johnson, Dan Campbell, and Brad Holmes for the assembly of this offensive squad. Truly impressive.
I would have liked to see more urgency out of the offense after that spot. Get it snapped and run the ball up the middle. Don’t let them throw the flag if you can help it.
Cousins probably should have been called for intentional grounding on that. He was squarely in the pocket and he threw that five yards onto the sideline.
Good coverage though and I’ll take the ball no matter how it comes.
