and they’ve given the Lions fits over the past few years. Prior to Sunday’s game, the Vikings had held Youth Ziggy Ansah Jersey the Lions to just 17.9 points per game in their past eight contests.But Sunday—the Lions’ first game without Golden Tate—this Lions offense hit a new low. The Lions came into Week 9 having scored at least 14 points in 25 straight games. Against the Vikings they scored just nine. Detroit finished with only 209 yards of total offense, their lowest output since 2015. Matthew Stafford was sacked 10 times—three more than he’s ever been sacked in a single game, which is quite amazing considering how many times Stafford has been sacked in his career. The Lions averaged just 3.0 yards per play on Sunday. The last time they had that poor of offensive efficiency was 2010, a few years before the Lions brought Tate aboard. It would be unfair to put all of the blame for Detroit’s lack of offense on missing Tate. Golden wouldn’t have helped a hapless offensive line against a dominating Vikings pass rush. Tate wouldn’t have prevented Matthew Stafford from making a mind-numbing lateral that ended up being returned for a defensive touchdown. But it’s impossible to ignore that Tate would have made at least a noticeable difference in this game. Many of the 10 sacks that Stafford took were coverage sacks. Without his favorite check-down option, Stafford was left to hold onto the ball for far too long, and it killed this team’s offensive potency. Remember, this team was scoring the eighth-most points per drive heading into this game.The Lions were also completely ineffective on third down, converting just four of 15 opportunities. That’s just 26.7 percent Color Rush Graham Glasgow Jersey , as compared to their 42.4 percent conversion rate in the seven games prior. Guess who the Lions’ favorite third-down option was heading into Week 9:The Lions tried their best to use what they had in Tate’s spot. That mostly involved using running back Theo Riddick in the slot. While Riddick did manage seven catches on the day, he turned those into just 36 yards. Only one of those seven catches earned the Lions a first down—his very first catch of the game. No one else on offense showed up to compensate for the loss, either. Kenny Golladay was invisible yet again, only drawing four targets and turning those into 46 yards receiving. Michael Roberts was targeted four times, but caught only one. The highly-promoted, slot receiver-in-the-making, “Swiss Army Knife” TJ Jones? Just two catches for 13 yards. Credit where credit is due: The Vikings defense was a terror on Sunday. They flustered Matthew Stafford early and often, and, ultimately Youth Marvin Jones Jr Jersey , that’s exactly how you beat this Lions team. But on a day in which the Lions defense actually played well enough to give the Lions a chance to win, it’s hard not to think about what could have happened if Stafford had his favorite target still on the team. Wednesday, we noted that Pro Football Focus graded the Detroit Lions offensive line as the sixth best in the entire NFL. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the success of the offense.Over the past several years, Matthew Stafford has landed on the most-sacked quarterback list nearly every season. It always seems like he and Russell Wilson are doomed to spend way too much of their NFL careers on their backs. Unfortunately for Wilson, that remains true as the Seahawks’ horrible offensive line has allowed 18 sacks, the third most in the league. But for Stafford, he is finally enjoying some time to throw the ball. Through five games, the Lions have allowed nine sacks, which is tied with a bunch of teams for seventh-fewest in the league. However Color Rush Devon Kennard Jersey , when you take into account how often Stafford drops back and make sacks a rate stat (sacks allowed per dropback), the Lions reign supreme in the league:Poor Russell Wilson.ESPN’s Michael Rothstein has a neat story on how Ricky Jean Francois is already preparing for his post-football career by, among other business ventures, owning 30 Dunkin Donuts franchises. He even shared some donuts with the media earlier in the week. Here’s another tasty stat about how good Kerryon Johnson has been through five weeks. Hopefully it will help you get you through the bye week: Another POTENTIAL TRADES list, another analyst suggesting the Lions trade Golden Tate for a fourth-round pick. The Lions’ don’t look like a very good team when it comes to Football Outsiders’ advanced statistics. (For an explanation on DVOA, go here) Erik Schlitt of Lions Wire takes a closer look at those DVOA numbers, and offers some reasons for optimism out of the bye. It’s been too long since we’ve checked in with SandmanLions’ “Slowlights.” Let’s revisit the Lions’ win over the Packers, but in super slow-mo:
