It was another ugly game for the Detroit Lions, and despite some noticeable improvements from one side of the ball, the obvious decline of the other ruined the team’s chances to compete against the Minnesota Vikings.
Here is the Lions’ Week 9 report card.
It’s hard to say whether Matthew Stafford was accurate or not on Sunday, because the man barely threw the ball. Yes, he did have 36 pass attempts, but when you figure that he dropped back to pass 51 times, that’s actually an incredibly small number.
His accuracy was fine, and he laid a couple nice touch passes in the game—though he missed one to Kenny Golladay, too—the big question was about his pocket presence against the Vikings.
