NFL Championship Sunday primer: What is each remaining team's trump card? Achilles' heel? (Lions - TRUMP CARD: The offensive line. The Lions are a rare team that can win utilizing force (running game) or finesse (aerial attack) on offense. Quarterback Jared Goff has the option of handing the ball off to a pair of stellar runners (Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery) or throwing to a reliable collection of playmakers with sticky hands and exceptional running skills. As dynamic offensive weapons with complementary games, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Josh Reynolds, Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta create big gains on various catch-and-run concepts over the middle of the field. While offensive coordinator Ben Johnson certainly deserves credit for crafting creative game plans that unlock the skills on the perimeter, the Lions' offensive line is the secret sauce that truly fuels their success. Offensive tackles Taylor Decker and Penei Sewell and center Frank Ragnow consistently create clear running paths and fortress-like protection at the point of attack, enabling Goff and Co. to overwhelm opponents with their dynamism. ACHILLES' HEEL: The cornerbacks. The Lions' defensive backfield is loaded with opportunistic playmakers, but opponents have successfully attacked the unit on the edges. Quarterbacks have targeted Cameron Sutton and Kindle Vildor on vertical routes whenever they spot one-on-one coverage. Although the Lions have masked the secondary's deficiencies by featuring more zone-based schemes, the umbrella coverage cannot completely protect the unit from a barrage of throws directed outside of the numbers. Against the teams remaining in the playoff field, Detroit's CBs must hold their own on the perimeter. The Lions will likely need to utilize more zone blitzes to generate a pass rush, but the unit's ability to win their one-on-ones in coverage could determine whether the underdogs advance beyond Sunday.): https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-championship-sunday-primer-what-is-each-remaining-team-s-trump-card-achilles-heel
