Through three games this season, the Detroit Lions are averaging 3.4 yards per carry as a team, and their lead running back, Kerryon Johnson, has a paltry 2.6 YPC himself. It’s not all his fault, though, as the offensive line is mostly to blame for the team’s failures running the football. We’ve heard all week that the team is just one player away from breaking out in the run game, but that’s all just talk to me. It’s time to let go of the excuses and just execute.
The Chiefs are the perfect team to spark the run game.
