#Vikings and #Lions are a combined 1-for-12 on third downs here. Quite the pillowfight.

Oh snap! I don't see how Ponder doesn't throw for 400 in this one then.

If he goes for only 300 they should have him hug Ponder whenever he's not on the field. Anything to get him closer. Closer QB coach to QB = success.

Looks like they're doing a lot of personnel rotations too. Sanford/Raymond, Griffen/Allen/Robisnon, Carlson/Rudolph, Fusco/Schwartz, Burton/Wright. Some working, some not. I think Henderson is back in on the nickel sets as well, replacing Brinkley.

It was a decent first half.

Way to hang in the pocket there Ponder. Nice. Should've probably been caught.

Ponder looking a little more like a real QB today. Sticking in the pocket more and throwing bullets.

Detroit ran a delayed blitz. Easy to disguise with Musgrave's constant bunch sets.

im not very impressed withthe routes rudolph is running, from top to bottom it seems ineffective. no seperation, he isnt running for the marker on third down, and he dropped another ball.
