Lions-Redskins Final Thoughts: Big plays from role players; my pick review; playing time helps Glasgow; offense protecting defense, even if not intended; fourth-down perfection:
Role players: The Lions can only hope to get the same critical production today from their role players that they got from wide receiver Andre Roberts and safety Rafael Bush in last week’s victory over the Rams.
Roberts had a touchdown catch on a fourth-down play late in the first half that put the Lions in a 14-14 tie, and another catch on third down in the fourth quarter on the drive to the game-tying touchdown.
