Digging into the NFL’s Turkey Day Games

The MMQB's Andy Benoit breaks down how the Washington offense will attack the Dallas defense on Thanksgiving Day.

Lions Offense vs. Vikings Defense

These teams met earlier this month, which the Lions won in overtime. Detroit’s up-and-down O-line, facing a strangely struggling Vikings front four, had one of its “up” weeks, keeping the offense on schedule for much of the afternoon. That proved critical, as Lions receivers had trouble getting consistent separation against Minnesota’s stingy secondary. The one man who did give the Vikings trouble was Eric Ebron. The third-year tight end is gradually becoming a more flexible receiver, both in terms of where he lines up and what routes he runs.
