The Lions suckkkkkkkk, but that’s not news. One thing that’s very different from years of old is the sudden presence of a running game. Personally, I’m extremely entertained by the Lions’ newfound ability to pick up 4-6 yards regularly on the ground, and I feel like it’s being overshadowed by the Lions’ overall suckiness.
I know that all the running backs have been better this year—the offensive line is holding their own quite well. However, Adrian Peterson is the turbo boosters sitting on the back of this juiced up car. He provides an extra umph that no other running back on the roster seems to have, and somehow, even though it’s AD, it comes as a surprise.
