One of the key takeaways from the Detroit Lions\u2019 dominant win over the Chicago Bears in Week 2 was their offense returning to its prolific form. Here is our Lions writer, Colton Pouncy, on what he saw from the offense. <\/p>\n
\ud83d\udcac: \u201cIn search of a bounce-back effort, the Lions were able to neutralize Chicago\u2019s pass rush. Against the Bears, the Lions allowed a pressure rate of 12.8 percent, per TruMedia. That was the second-lowest pressure rate allowed through Sunday\u2019s games. The Bears tried to avoid blitzing (10.3 percent blitz rate \u2014 fourth-lowest in Week 2) against a quarterback in Jared Goff who\u2019s been excellent against it during his time in Detroit, but their defense couldn\u2019t win with four. Chicago\u2019s pressure rate on non-blitzes was just 15.4 percent, which was the second-lowest in Week 2.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo this Bears defense wasn\u2019t blitzing and wasn\u2019t getting home with four. The Lions allowed just four pressures all day \u2014 tied for the fewest in Week 2. Credit their offensive line for holding up and bouncing back in a major way.\u201d<\/p>\n
