periods of time.
So that way, you know, they don't squirt the end and we get the egg.
Coach Matt LaFlori talked about the team avenging recent losses to the Lions.
The energy our guys brought not only in the first half, but I thought we matched it
to start the second half as well.
Defensively, it was a dominant performance.
I mean, I think I looked on the stat sheet and we had something like 9 TFLs or sacks against
a really good offensive line.
Just our style play was exactly what we wanted.
Jordan Love fired a pair of first half scoring passes to Tucker Kraft and Jaden Reed and
Josh Jacobs added a late touchdown.
The Lions averaged more than 33 points a game, all going 15 and two last season.
