WHAT WENT RIGHT
The Running Game.
Darnell Jefferson rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown. He may be the best running back the Lions have had since Barry Sanders retired. Through three games, Jefferson is aceraging 124.7 yards per game, good for third in the league. Jamaal Williams added 43 yards n nine carries. He is much more suited in a complimentary role and it has shown this season.
Jon Moxon.
Jon Moxon is quickly making people forget about Jared Goff, and even Matthew Stafford. Moxon threw for 308 yards, and 3 touchdowns. It was Moxon's third consecutive 300 yard game. Through three games, Moxon has thrown for 942 yards and 10 Touchdowns. The 10 touchdowns are tied for the NFL lead.
The Defense.
The Lions held the Eagles to 354 yards of offense, most coming after they were comfortably ahead. The Lions forced 3 turnovers. Leon Sandcastle got his first career interception. Sandcastle continues to play extremely well when matched p against the opponent's top receiver. Rookie MLB Alvin Mack had his best game of the season, recording 9 tackles. Vontae Mack had a pair of sacks, bringing his total to 5 sacks in the first 3 games. One of those sacks resulted in a fumble, that the Lions recovered.
WHAT'S NEXT
The Lions return home to face the 1-2 Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota is coming off of back to back losses to the Green Bay Packers (28-21) and the LA Rams (23-17).
