Lions urged to acquire short-term fix for big issue (if it lingers)

Related Topics: Detroit Lions, Brad Holmes

The Detroit Lions' offense had a lot of issues in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. The core of those issues was a largely absent ground game, in terms of effectiveness (2.1 yards per carry) and volume (22 attempts).

The refurbished interior of the Lions' offensive line particularly struggled in the season opener, and struggles with communication in some situations was a noticeable issue. As expected, everyone involved is saying those issues are easily fixable heading into Week 2 against the Chicago Bears.

But if the Lions can't get their run game on track fairly quickly, and the interior lineman in particular keep struggling, something may have to be done.
