Since Barry Sanders retired in 2000, the Detroit Lions have hardly been known as a running team. Behind a powerful line led by Graham Glasgow at center, the narrative is changing.
The former Wolverine walk-on, now in his third season in the Motor City, first helped Kerryon Johnson to 101 yards against the New England Patriots. This broke the Lions’ 70-game drought without a 100-yard rusher.
Sunday in Miami, he teamed with rookie guard Frank Ragnow to obliterate the Dolphin front to the tune of 248 yards on 35 carries.
