As we’ve been doing for many years now, we break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual player standpoint. Like last year, Josh Carney and I will cover the opposing team’s offense. I will focus on the scheme, Josh on the players.
Today, our scouting report on the Detroit Lions’ offense ahead of Week 16’s game against Pittsburgh.
Alex’s Scheme Report
Lions’ Run Game
The Lions enter Week 16 with one of the league’s top running games. Detroit still has “Sonic & Knuckles” of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, an excellent 1-2 punch used together even more recently due to TE Sam LaPorta’s injury.
