Detroit Lions - Team Notes

https://www.footballoutsiders.com/audibles/2018/audibles-line-week-3
Audibles at the Line: Week 3.
Football Outsiders

Each Sunday, the FO staff sends around emails about the games that each of us are watching. We share information about the games that the rest of the group might not be watching, ask questions, and keep everyone else informed about which games they might want to tune into (if they can).

On Monday, we compile a digest of those emails and produce this feature. By its nature, it can be disjointed and dissimilar to the other articles on the site.

While these emails are generally written with Audibles in mind, they do not represent a standard review of all the games each week. That means we aren't going to cover every game, or every important play. We watch the games that we, as fans, are interested in watching, so your favorite team's game might not be covered to your fullest desires or even at all. (If you are a Steelers or Patriots fan, you are probably in luck; if you are a Bills fan, not so much.)
We have no intention of adding new authors solely to cover every game on a given Sunday, nor will we watch a different game from the ones that we're personally interested in watching just to ensure that Audibles covers every game.

Underrated quote of the night, from Eli Harold about Matt Patricia:
"I just remember the guy on the New England sideline with a red, long-sleeve coat on and a beard. And I'm like, 'Dang, man, this guy got these dudes playing out here like their hair on fire. And it was funny, because I was like, 'His last name is Patricia? I thought it was Pa-TREE-SEE-ah."

Lions QB Matthew Stafford is now 7-0 when he has a 100-yard rusher and plays the entire game.

With a touchdown pass against the #Patriots on Sunday, #Lions QB Matthew Stafford has now thrown for a TD against every team in the #NFL except for the #Jaguars.
The Lions are 2-0 in Stafford's starts vs Jacksonville.

The #Lions are the only team in the #NFL to have 3 different LBs (Eli Harold, Jarrad Davis & Devon Kennard) have a game with 2+ sacks this year.

The #Lions defense held the #Patriots to 209 total net yards of offense -- only the 3rd time since 2007 that the Patriots have had fewer than 210-yards of total offense. #OnePride

Sunday night was the first time the #Lions have won on NBC's Sunday Night Football. They were previously 0-6. #OnePride

#Lions RB Kerryon Johnson is currently averaging 5.6-yards per carry and 3.14-yards after contact.

Matthew Stafford has thrown for first downs on 53.8% of his pass attempts on 3rd and long (7+ yards) this season... best in the NFL (Goff is next at 46.2%).

At 21 years and 85 days old, @AyeyoKEJO became the second-youngest #Lions RB to top 100-yards in a game (Barry Sanders ran for his first 100-yard game at 21 years and 70 days old vs. Chicago on Sept. 24, 1989).

Since 2014, only 18 RBs have hit 100+ yards on 16 or fewer carries.
Only 2 have managed to do so without a rush for 36 or more yards: Ronnie Hillman and Kerryon Johnson.

#Lions Rick Wagner is ranked 1st of 36 at RT per PFF. #OnePride
