00:00 On Monday night, the Detroit Lions defeated the Las Vegas Raiders in a little home action.
00:04 Here today to break down that game and analysis for the team is SI Alliance John Macron.
00:10 John, give me your thoughts on how the Lions looked against the Raiders on Monday night football.
00:14 Yeah Cameron, after a disappointing performance against the Ravens,
00:18 a bounce back game for the Detroit Lions in front of a passionate home crowd at Ford Field,
00:24 downtown Detroit was rocking. I think the Detroit Lions really wanted to showcase in front of a
00:28 nationally televised audience what they were about. Defensively, they got back on track
00:33 using heavy blitzes to pressure Jimmy Garoppolo, who just really did not look all that great in
00:38 his return. For the Detroit Lions though, they played a little bit sloppy. Some turnovers,
00:44 I think Jared Goff throwing the pick six to Marcus Peters really was a pass that he would like to have
00:50 back. I just thought that the Detroit Lions didn't play their cleanest game, but against an opponent
00:55 that came in not really playing all that well, I thought the Detroit Lions played really
01:00 effectively. I think highlighted by running back Jameer Gibbs breaking out at Ford Field. I thought
01:06 that everybody was looking for Jameer Gibbs to really shoulder the load with David Montgomery
01:11 being gone and being able to break free and have some runs. Having that scamper to the end zone,
01:17 highlighted by leaping into the crowd. I thought that Jameer Gibbs really highlighted what the team
01:23 saw in him and his abilities and that only bodes well for his future in Detroit. The defense got
01:29 right. I thought that having the second half performance that they had along the defensive
01:34 line with multiple sacks pressuring Jimmy Garoppolo really made it so that the Detroit
01:39 Lions could secure the victory. So at the bye week, the Detroit Lions sit at six and two after
01:44 defeating the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. John, it certainly was a bounce back
01:49 game for the Lions. Thanks for all the insight.
