The first time the Lions faced a rookie quarterback this season, it went poorly.
After the Week 1 debacle against Sam Darnold and the New York Jets, the Lions will get another crack at the Class of 2018 quarterback crop these next couple of weeks with road games against Arizona’s Josh Rosen and Buffalo’s Josh Allen.
Darnold was 16-for-21 passing with two touchdowns in a 48-17 Monday night thrashing at Ford Field to open a season that has gone off the rails lately with the Lions losing five of their last six games.
With two winnable games against elite ‘18 prospects that will impact the Lions’ position in the 2019 draft, defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni said Tuesday he doesn’t tailor his defense against young signal callers.
