Episode notes
Run Game Collapse Triggered Offensive Breakdown
- The Lions' offensive collapse began with a failing run game that created third-and-longs and exposed protection issues.
- Poor run success cascaded into pressure on Jared Goff and widespread offensive dysfunction.
Frank Ragnow's Absence Is Hurting The Line
- Losing Frank Ragnow hurt more than expected and created instability across the interior line and protections.
- The inexperienced guard duo and Christian Mahogany's injury compounded a depth crisis for the Lions.
Adjust Playcalling To Beat Interior Pressure
