Lions’ run game searching for consistency amidst woes on offense

The Detroit Lions are licking their wounds after a 27-24 home loss to the Minnesota Vikings coming out of their bye week.

It was an ugly, disjointed performance from Detroit’s offense that started with the run game. The Lions’ vaunted rushing attack that torched these Vikings a year ago was held to 65 yards– their lowest total since a 27-13 drubbing at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.

“Their movement up front and everything, it was tough,” offensive coordinator John Morton said. We had things for it. We had chances… That's the biggest thing. We had a good scheme.
