00:00Walking over to the Lions versus the Cardinals, Lions able to get back in the W column, 20-13,
00:10they top the Cardinals today.
00:11What was a great one between this one because Gough doesn't touch 200 yards, but he was
00:14just one yard short ever so slightly, Montgomery having a massive ground game, and you've talked
00:19about St. Brown here on Pro Football Today a number of times, so break this one down
00:23for me, Tom.
00:25This was the perfect game plan for the Lions to right the ship and bounce back where they
00:32have two awesome running backs, 23-105-1 from Montgomery, 16-83 from Gibbs, obviously Gibbs
00:39with the lateral play with St. Brown, running it in, it wasn't a catch, but he ran the ball
00:46in after the lateral, Gough was efficient, 18-23 from 199, like you said, two touchdowns.
00:52This is like the exact game plan that they needed, and their defense kept things under
00:57control, big game from Amon, Ross, and St. Brown.
00:59The big news for this is that Sam LaPorter, their star second-year tight end, was hurt,
01:04he's dealing with an ankle injury, he was carded to the locker room at the end of the
01:07game.
01:08We saw a complete disappearance from Jameson Williams in this game, granted it's a little
01:11bit of a game script.
01:12Who steps up to fill this void?
01:14Now Brock Wright is their second string tight end, and he has played on their team for a
01:18few seasons now, so the familiarity with the offense is there.
01:22Will he be the solidified now starting tight end, and will that role play a high rate of
01:28involvement in the passing games Ron is most interested in?
01:31So if it's not going to be Amon, Ross, St. Brown in the passing game, who's going to
01:34be after it?
01:35It could be Jameson Williams in the bounce back.
01:36We know those home run balls are always going to be there for him.
01:39On the Cardinals side of things, Marvin Anderson, Jr. continues to be awesome.
01:43What we get from Kyler Murray, I think, are going to be a high volume of passing.
01:46I think the inefficiency will still be there overall.
01:48I think they need to have more of a balance and get James Conner continuously involved
01:53in the offense.
01:54It can't all be Marvin Harrison and Trey McBride as the one-two for the Cardinals.
01:59So great stuff from the Lions.
02:00They are still one of the best teams in the league, and I still think they continue to
02:03push towards the NFC Championship game.
