Ok, so Saturday wasn’t Lions’ OT Penei Sewell’s first NFL game. He made his debut last week. But things didn’t get a whole lot better for Sewell, the 7th overall pick of this year’s draft, when he took on veteran Melvin Ingram.
Ingram gave Sewell and the Lions’ front fits in the run and pass game. Let’s break it down.
Ingram In Run Game
There’s a couple examples we could show of Ingram being held and it not being called or him held and it finally being spotted by the officials. But I want to highlight the tackle for loss Ingram did have, a three-yard stop in the backfield with the Lions backed up in their own end.
