RUN. STOP RUN.
In the last three games against the "former" Lions defense, the NFL's 2015 rushing leader, Matt Forte, had 41 carries for 94 yards and no touchdowns. Detroit's run defense last season held opponents to 69.3 yards per game. This year, it's allowing 126.6 per game, including 187 last week, when Forte's fellow-2008 draftee, Chris Johnson, had 11 carries for 103 yards. On the other side, Joique Bell's been slowed by an ankle injury, Ameer Abdullah's fumble-itis has overshadowed his explosiveness to the tune of a team per game rushing average of 49 yards.
