Penei Sewell turned 22 years old on Sunday. The Lions right tackle spent the day in the trenches battling against the New England Patriots, who made it an unhappy birthday with a 29-0 drubbing of Sewell’s Lions.
This week’s film spotlight review focuses on the birthday boy. Sewell entered the game as the NFL’s top-graded right tackle per Pro Football Focus. His precociousness is defied by Sewell’s very quick ascent into the upper echelon of offensive tackles in just his second season.
Yet Sunday was not his best game.
As we’ve done in past weeks, I went through both the broadcast feed and the coach’s film and focused on Sewell.
