Allen Park — Jarrad Davis made his fair of mistakes in his professional debut. The Detroit Lions rookie linebacker missed two tackles, had some lapses in coverage and was flagged for a pair of penalties. Still, the team’s coaching staff was ecstatic with the overall performance.
“I thought it was outstanding for a young guy,” defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said.
The mistakes, well, those are going to happen. A rookie, starting his first game at a demanding position, there was always going to be stuff to work on. What the Lions liked was the tone Davis set.
