Top 15 NFL rookies: Week 1 (8. LB MALCOLM RODRIGUEZ, DETROIT LIONS (73.4): Rodriguez was one of the stars of Hard Knocks for good reason: the man knows ball. His instinctual play style has translated almost immediately to the NFL, and so far the size concerns that dropped him to the sixth round appear overblown, although he did miss two of his eight tackle attempts. His real impact came in coverage, where his three targets went for only 12 yards and no first downs.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-rookies-15-highest-graded-week-1-2022

1 thing we learned about each NFL team (Detroit Lions - D'Andre Swift has created a dangerous run game: The Lions have a very good offensive line, even if they were missing Halapoulivaati Vaitai and had Frank Ragnow playing hurt Sunday. Running backs coach Duce Staley and offensive line coach Hank Fraley are aware how important a good running game is toward offensive success, which is why Staley was pressing Swift so hard in camp.  Swift is due for a breakout season, and is off to an excellent start after torching the Eagles defense for 144 rushing yards and a touchdown -- averaging 9.6 yards per carry. The Lions ran for 181 yards as a team, the second-highest total in any game since Dan Campbell arrived.  Expect more big rushing performances from Detroit in 2022 with Swift getting the opportunity to lead a potent attack. His goal of 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards is still to be determined.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/one-thing-we-learned-about-each-nfl-team-in-week-1-lamar-jackson-can-pass-chargers-now-can-close-games/

$.10 After NFL Week 1 (The last time the Lions hosted the Eagles was Halloween of 2021. The Eagles won that game 44-6 in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated. Barometer of progress for Dan Campbell’s Lions: Philly won 38-35 on Sunday. Detroit’s defense still has no answer for a QB that can run like Jalen Hurts. The Eagles defense has no answer for offensive lines that can block like the Lions can, and that’s one big reason why the Lions are a lot more dangerous than a year ago.):  https://football.realgm.com/analysis/3472/$10-After-NFL-Week-1
