I think there was a drop-off when Roberson went down as Levels got beat a few times otherwise the defense did a pretty good job of keeping the Lions out of the end zone. Lions have some talented receivers and are much more dangerous with Lulay behind center as this one would have been a laugher if Jennings was starting. As for the running game it's hard to say what the problem is when you are down to your 3rd string guy. Morris clearly isn't ready to be 1st or even 2nd string and may never be but run blocking hasn't been very good. Mitchell looks to be moving around the pocket much better which is very encouraging. Jorden cementing himself as one of the league's best receivers.
Lions had a week to prepare for this one coming off the bye week and they played maybe their best game of the season last night so I think it looks good that the Stamps could still handle them despite starting their 3rd string RB and not having Rogers.
