Why Detroit Lions' D'Andre Swift could go off vs. Minnesota Vikings

Darrell Bevell sees no reason to change things now in the run game.

With the Minnesota Vikings’ terrible defense coming to town Sunday, the Detroit Lions interim head coach said Wednesday he’ll continue with the same running back rotation for the season finale at Ford Field.

That means rookie D’Andre Swift will start and get a chance at some serious yards against the Vikings’ 28th-ranked run defense, a week after he was held to 45 yards by Tampa Bay’s top-ranked run defense.

“I think we’ll continue to handle them the way that we have,” Bevell said during a conference call.
