00:00Walking over to the Lions versus the Cardinals, Lions able to get back in the W column, 20-13,

00:10they top the Cardinals today.

00:11What was a great one between this one because Gough doesn't touch 200 yards, but he was

00:14just one yard short ever so slightly, Montgomery having a massive ground game, and you've talked

00:19about St. Brown here on Pro Football Today a number of times, so break this one down

00:23for me, Tom.

00:25This was the perfect game plan for the Lions to right the ship and bounce back where they

00:32have two awesome running backs, 23-105-1 from Montgomery, 16-83 from Gibbs, obviously Gibbs

00:39with the lateral play with St. Brown, running it in, it wasn't a catch, but he ran the ball

00:46in after the lateral, Gough was efficient, 18-23 from 199, like you said, two touchdowns.

00:52This is like the exact game plan that they needed, and their defense kept things under

00:57control, big game from Amon, Ross, and St. Brown.

00:59The big news for this is that Sam LaPorter, their star second-year tight end, was hurt,

01:04he's dealing with an ankle injury, he was carded to the locker room at the end of the

01:07game.

01:08We saw a complete disappearance from Jameson Williams in this game, granted it's a little

01:11bit of a game script.

01:12Who steps up to fill this void?

01:14Now Brock Wright is their second string tight end, and he has played on their team for a

01:18few seasons now, so the familiarity with the offense is there.

01:22Will he be the solidified now starting tight end, and will that role play a high rate of

01:28involvement in the passing games Ron is most interested in?

01:31So if it's not going to be Amon, Ross, St. Brown in the passing game, who's going to

01:34be after it?

01:35It could be Jameson Williams in the bounce back.

01:36We know those home run balls are always going to be there for him.

01:39On the Cardinals side of things, Marvin Anderson, Jr. continues to be awesome.

01:43What we get from Kyler Murray, I think, are going to be a high volume of passing.

01:46I think the inefficiency will still be there overall.

01:48I think they need to have more of a balance and get James Conner continuously involved

01:53in the offense.

01:54It can't all be Marvin Harrison and Trey McBride as the one-two for the Cardinals.

01:59So great stuff from the Lions.

02:00They are still one of the best teams in the league, and I still think they continue to

02:03push towards the NFC Championship game.
