As the Detroit Lions just poured, and poured, and poured onto the Chicago Bears in Week 2, it was clear that two things had seen a major improvement between that contest and Week 1 for the NFC North powerhouse.
One, that offensive coordinator John Morton felt a bit freer in his play calling during the contest, which helped to get almost every receiver and running back involved in the rout. The average of 8.8 yards per play from the Lions - a franchise record - spoke to just how free Morton felt compared to Week 1, where the Green Bay Packers' defense was smothering.
