5), LT Dan Skipper (44.3) and WR Tim Patrick (52.2).
Obviously, the Lions O-line was fantastic, will all five starters in the top-11 graded players and Sewell and Zeitler at the very top. It was also a nice bounce-back game for Goff. Meanwhile, it was interesting to see Patrick get 34 snaps on offense compared to Kalif Raymond’s five and Allen Robinson II’s one.
The club appears to like what the former Bronco brings to their offense. Defense The lowest-graded Lions defenders were LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (32.8), DE Marcus Davenport (39.
2) and DE Joshua Paschal (41.3). Hutchinson continues to play like a mad man, Joseph obviously had a great game and it was good to see Reader up there again and Campbell that high filling in for the injured Alex Anzalone.
