PFF Press Pass – NFL previews for every matchup during Week 2 (DETROIT LIONS @ SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS - Young weapons ready to contribute: The Lions’ faced a tough loss to the Jets in their season opener, but there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Kenny Golladay played more snaps in that game than any game last season, and rookie running back Kerryon Johnson made his NFL debut. Both players showed promise for the road ahead. Golladay hauled in seven catches on 11 targets for a total of 114 yards, earning him a grade of 75.9 – the second-highest grade of any offensive player for the Lions. The second-year receiver also averaged 16.3 yards per reception, 2.19 yards per route run and racked up 49 yards after the catch. Kerryon Johnson also made the most of his limited opportunities, turning just three targets and five rushing attempts into 20 yards receiving and 17 yards rushing. Johnson had the highest overall grade (71.9) of any running back on the team and posted the highest receiving grade (81.9) of any player for the Lions. His 3.4 yards per attempt appears to be nothing to write home about, yet upon closer inspection, you would find that Johnson was hit at or behind the line of scrimmage on three of his five carries and was given an abysmal 0.2 yards before contact per carry, which makes his 3.2 yards after contact per attempt even more impressive. His ability to be a weapon in the passing game as well as a physical runner on the ground gives all the more reason for the rookie to see an increase in opportunities in the coming weeks.): https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-pff-press-pass-nfl-previews-for-every-matchup-during-week-2
NFL Week 2 questions: Right call on Aaron Rodgers? (8. Will the Lions try to run? In the past four seasons, Detroit has finished dead last in rushing twice (and 28th and 30th — of 32 teams — the other two years). Guess who's already at the back of the bus with 39 yards and 2.6 per attempt? And before you assume the Lions had to throw in their blowout loss to the Jets, remember that game was tied 17-17 midway into the third quarter. It'd probably be a good idea to give LeGarrette Blount, Theo Riddick and rookie Kerryon Johnson more than 15 collective carries in Santa Clara against the 49ers. Balance is almost always better, and it's usually easier to run than throw when facing unfriendly road crowds. Most important, quarterback Matthew Stafford was subject to far too much abuse as a predictable offense bogged down and pressed his way into four interceptions against New York.): https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2018/09/13/nfl-week-2-questions-aaron-rodgers-packers-josh-allen/1279928002/
Ranking the 0-1 NFL Teams By Chances of Making the Playoffs (12. Lions: Coming into the year, the Lions did not look like they had a defense that could lead them back to playoffs. In week 1, they did not look like they had anything that could lead them back to the playoffs. It is going to be a trial for the Lions to avoid starting 0-2 against the 49ers, however, that pales in comparison to what it will take to even break .500. The Lions have to face Aaron Rodgers twice, a loaded Vikings team, the Patriots, the most talented team in the NFL the Rams, and the now a hellacious Bears defense. On top of that, they probably are not good enough to go 2-2 against Carolina, Miami, Dallas, and Seattle. Is Matt Patricia any good?): https://thebiglead.com/2018/09/13/falcons-chargers-saints/2/
