Breaking down the Detroit Lions offense, personnel sets vs. Cardinals

Detroit Lions fans got their first real look at the offense under new offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell last Sunday. The Week 1 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals was the first regular season game the Lions played under Bevell, and the offense looked great.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford posted a 110.0 passer rating. He threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns on 45 pass attempts in what was one of the more efficient performances of his career. The running game was quiet, averaging only 3.6 yards per carry, but with Stafford playing at a high level they can live without a running game.
