Greg Bedard: He was terrific in this game. I had him for 11.5 plus plays and 5.5 minus plays.

Greg Bedard: I thought he was really good in this game providing yards after the catch, he had the touchdown. Nice route. Nice read by Maye that was actually a pretty big bust by the Rams but Maye saw it right away and zipped it in there. Nice bounce back game for Kendrick Bourne. They need more of that.

Greg Bedard: He was really the only impactful guy on defense in this game and I thought he was really good.
3 DOWN

Greg Bedard: He was horrendous in this game. He was a day late and a dollar short on every run read. He got exposed in the passing game. I thought he looked like a special teams linebacker in this game.
Jonathan Jones

Greg Bedard: He gave up two touchdowns. The one to Puka Nacua. I mean, what are you going to do? The guy’s pretty good. Ran a great route, as he normally does. But the all out blitz, from what I understand on that, Jonathan Jones, first of all, he set up outside and you can’t do that. I was told talking to people that know more about this, he has to set up inside and force the throw over him and outside the numbers. Instead he just jumped outside like he thought he had free safety help. And now it’s just a straight ahead throw for Matthew Stafford. That’s what I think Jerod Mayo meant in terms of the execution and also the coverage on that play.

Greg Bedard: I know he’s been out for a while. He was really rusty, he missed tackles. I thought that he should have split that touchdown between him and Elliss. I thought that he should have been back there. It looked like sort of like a cover three look, definitely rusty for Kyle Duggar.
