1. The last time we saw Lions RB Ameer Abdullah and Chargers RB Melvin Gordon on the same field, Gordon ran for 408 yards in a Wisconsin win over Nebraska. Gordon has a tough matchup Week 1 against Detroit’s No. 1 rush defense from a season ago. What are the expectations for Gordon not only this week but for his rookie season as a whole?
Expectations no doubt are high.
