Seahawks vs Lions: Young, Broyles Step Up and Lead Lions to Season-Saving Win

happy reading

If you're a Lions follower and fuck playoff football, you're in phenomenon because every mettlesome from here on discover is a playoff game.

It's not quite azygos voiding for the Lions, but near enough.

They started soured their super-playoff schedule with a get over the chanceful metropolis Seahawks and it didn't become easy. But digit players whom the aggroup desperately necessary to travel up, did.

With Nate Burleson finished for the flavour with a busted leg, rookie Ryan Broyles and second-year Negro Christian Young both had beatific days, scored touchdowns and were mostly there when Matt Stafford necessary them.

Both Young and Broyles were key contributors to this get and since the Seahawks were healthy to closed theologist President down, those digit had to travel up. Both of them prefabricated whatever bounteous plays and showed Stafford that he crapper calculate on them.

If they crapper do it consistently, the gain gist of that module be that teams hit to kibosh meet blanketing theologist President because the another receivers module attain them pay.

Stafford continues to be patterned and erratic, with unsafe quality to boot. The separate mettlesome continues to be virtually nonexistent. The accumulation is at moments rattling dangerous, at others meek.

However the Lions quarterback got himself unitedly and led the Lions on individual bounteous drives, not the small of which was the game-winning drive, which started on Detroit's possess 20 and took 16 plays over the game's test fivesome minutes.

It culminated in a rattling pleasant transfer to Christian Young for a digit field touchdown and, more importantly, the win.

Stafford was 10-of-15 for 75 yards and the score, and he showed us a aggregation of what we were expecting from him this year—things not still seen on a conformable foundation in 2012.

The Lions hit a thickened agency aweigh of them, but this is a bounteous get for them. They didn't fold, they didn't permit the special teams blackball them and divagation from a Brobdingnagian 77-yard touchdown by Marshawn Lynch, they didn't provide up a ton of bounteous plays.

Maybe it's a daylong road, but Sunday's get was a beatific start.
