Are the days of the Detroit Lions being in a running game drought about to be over? Surely the organization hopes so after their heavy investment this offseason.
The Lions front office pounced on their lowly rushing attack earlier this year through both free agency and the draft. This after their running game ranked dead last in the NFL for the second time in the past three years.
Motown added veteran running back LeGarrette Blount to their backfield via free agency. Coming off his third Super Bowl victory in the past four seasons, Blount is a downhill runner who should help Detroit in short yardage opportunities.
