Holding any NFL offense to just six points is quite the accomplishment, especially when it’s against a division leader coming off a bye week’s rest, it’s on the road, and it’s an offense that features names like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
For the Detroit Lions, it’s another example of how this team has grown and developed under the tutelage of this coaching staff assembled by Dan Campbell. A veteran like Alex Anzalone is playing the very best football of his career, a newcomer like Cam Sutton is proving he’s the No. 1 cornerback the Lions signed him to be, and Jerry Jacobs, an undrafted player who has battled through injuries to return to the field, is rising to the occasion.
