00:15 Injury free game for Lions. 28 total NFL ACL tears, Lions with none. 02:24 Congrats to Big 10 and UM for starting the season. 03:05 Play of game - Gurley TD score. Lions win rate improved from 1% to 2-3% after the TD. 05:50 Lions tried to let Packers score TD last year also. Patricia deserves applause for using analytics in this way. 06:40 Last drive recap and the craziness on almost every play. Golladay 1st catch should have gone to review. Ref mismarks ball at 11 yard line. 09:30 Amendola penalized for celebration. Jamal Agnew and some Falcons also had helmets off. Should NFL change that rule? 12:00 Falcons defense too passive (prevent) on final drive. Can't do that against most NFL QB's especially Stafford. 13:15 Special teams kickoff coverage excellent lately. Jarrad Davis deserves kudos. 14:10 Defense started game aggressively but then became passive as game went on. Can't do that against Matt Ryan. 15:30 Romeo Okwara with a big impact game. 15:50 Lions played 50% zone defense. Previously 61, 37, 45, 19, 18. 16:35 Offense was decent. Kerryon deserves carries for how well his pass blocking has been. 18:08 Love the Lions going for 4th and 1 early in the game. 18:35 Stafford eliminated his bad plays which led to best game of season. 19:29 Lions able to overcome self-inflicted wounds. 20:05 Matt Prater was clutch after his miss. 20:04 Stop playing passive defense in the 2nd half! -I'm Jimmy Liao and welcome to the Detroit Lions Morning Rounds podcast.
