Detroit Lions: Time for more Derrick Barnes in Detroit?

The Detroit Lions led the Green bay Packers 17-14 at halftime on Monday, but despite the lead it almost felt inevitable on every drive that the Packers were going to score. This was proven by the 21-0 second half run by Green Bay to close out the game led by Aaron Jones 4 touchdown performance.

As is often the case when a running back explodes like Jones did, suspect linebacker play was one of the main culprits. Poor coverage was especially a problem leading to two easy receiving touchdowns to the Packers’ running backs along with another to tight end Robert Tonyan.
