The Detroit Lions O-line grades out as the 3rd-best in football this year at opening holes for rushers.Jamaal Williams has rushed for 1.00 TDs per game on the ground this year (on average), one of the highest figures in the NFL among running backs (99th percentile).The Green Bay Packers safeties project as the 28th-worst safety corps in football this year in regard to run defense.The Green Bay Packers have stacked the box vs. opponents on just 8.8% of their plays since the start of last season, 2nd-least in football. Choosing not to bring an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.The Detroit Lions have elected to go for it on 4th down 27.9% of the time since the start of last season (most in the league), which generally means more offensive volume, more touchdown potential, and higher offensive statistics across the board.
