Nice! Their best guy made plays all the way down the field and it ends with a TD and 2PC. No creative scheming needed. Just put monsters on the field and challenge the other team to slow them down.
Rice is a true #1. Not one of the elites but a legit WR. That was not an easy catch, it was a bit behind him and he had to contort to ***** it out of the air.
Sure it does. Very worst case scenario is you're down by 1 the next time you get the ball. So many teams chase points too early and then lose the game by the number of points they surrendered.
It started last week against Indy and was very successful. They can't score 50 yard rushing TDs or anything like that but they're consistently picking up 5+ yards.
Green Bay was just as aggressive as Detroit on 4th down decisions in this game. Arguably moreso with that last play. The only difference is they converted all of theirs.
Christian Watson singlehandedly tried to give the Lions life. Stupidly goes out of bounds on the last 3rd down and then drops a pass that could have ended the game.
The thought is you need to score a TD and then hold Green Bay to a FG at best. Then you get the ball back down 6 and right back in it. Getting to down by 7 and then kicking off doesn't help when their offense has had its way with you all day.
