You simply have no chance when the other team is physically superior. There are no adjustments you can make when your offensive and defensive lines are being pushed backward and run over. There are no pass plays to call when your receivers are being manhandled and covered like a blanket. There’s nothing a defensive coordinator can do when everybody in the stadium knows the other team is going to run the ball and your players are simply capitulating.
The Green Bay Packers loss to the Detroit Lions Thursday night was purely a case of physical domination. The Lions were in complete control from start to finish.
