Over the season’s first two games, we have seen the Lions beat some high-power offenses, such as Kansas City and Seattle. This week, they will have their first real test of a real dual offensive threat, which is the Atlanta Falcons.
The Lions’ Defense won them in game one, and in game two, it was the offense; the question is, which side will be leaned on more? The Defensive line will have its fair share of trouble trying to stop rookie Bijan Robinson, who has had a great start to the year. However, just stopping the run game is 1 task, but this high-power offense with Ridder at the helm is very dangerous, as we saw in the comeback and defeat of the Packers. So, the Defense will have to step it up again.
The significant concerns on offense are that of David Montgomery and Amon Ra-St Brown. Montgomery left last week’s game with what appeared to be a knee issue, and he is listed as questionable, but it’s leaning to the more doubtful side, meaning Jahmyr Gibbs will get the start. The Passing game has to have a repeat performance of last week to keep pace with the Falcons. The Falcons are no longer the joke of the league anymore, but they are still finding out who they are. Lions win in a nail bitter 30-28
