Game Preview
The Carolina Panthers will visit Ford Field on Sunday, October 8th as the Detroit Lions make their triumphant return home. With a 34-20 victory against the Green Bay Packers in last week’s NFL results, the Detroit Lions improved to 3-1 and sent a message. They have a bright future as players are allowed more time to recover from suspensions or injuries before they face the Carolina Panthers in Week 5 of the season.
Sam Franklin’s 99-yard interception return for a TD in the first quarter gave the Panthers a terrific start over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4, but the good moments failed to last. Bryce Young, the rookie quarterback, returned after missing one game because of an injury to his ankle, but he struggled once more. Carolina eventually suffered a 21-13 defeat, joining the Chicago Bears being the only teams without a victory in the NFL.
This year, the Carolina Panthers offense has endured a never-ending string of train wrecks. Every game has included the same issues, and it is getting quite monotonous. They faced a Vikings defense this past week that has provided little opposition to rival attacks in the season’s opening three weeks. The Panthers offense managed just 6 points despite the cozy contest in the welcoming surroundings of Bank of America Stadium.
On Sunday at home against the Panthers, the Lions look strong. It will be extremely challenging for rookie quarterback Bryce Young to handle the pressure they have put on rival quarterbacks, which has finally resulted in sacks by the bushel in both of their most recent matches. It will be difficult to stay on schedule offensively and give Young additional pressure given how well they have stopped running backs.
The Lions pounded all over the Packers this past week, and it’s likely they can do the same thing this week considering Carolina ranks 29th in yards per rush and 27th in run defense. In addition, Jameson Williams’ return following his suspension will provide the Lions a new offensive component that will help them spread Carolina’s defense in verticality.
