By establishing their running game early, the Detroit Lions set the tone in the physical exchange against the Arizona Cardinals.

Detroit was a stunner on its first two possessions, each of which resulted in a touchdown. The Lions overcame their red zone woes on Sunday with touchdowns on all three attempts to win 20-13 and move to 2-1 on the season.

The offensive line played a big role in getting the ball down the field early. Offensive tackle Penei Sewell was Pro Football Focus’ top-rated offensive player, earning an overall grade of 84.9.

“I think that gives the guys a lot of confidence. That’s something they can really sink their teeth into,” coach Dan Campbell said. “I think our backs, that’s one of those things — they just feed off each other, David Montgomery and Gibbs and that O-line. They’re able to establish the running game and, yeah, the physical side of it. That doesn’t mean you’re going to be making 10-yard runs every time, but you know what kind of game you’re going to be in when you’re the opponent. That’s the kind of day it’s going to be. That’s really what you want to establish.”

The success on the ground took the pressure off Jared Goff, who was efficient in the first half. He didn’t throw an incomplete pass until the third quarter and finished the game 18 of 23 passing for 199 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

“The flip side of that is, man, it helps Goff too,” Campbell said. “I don’t know if he had an incomplete pass in the first half. He played very efficiently, he was very smart, found the checkdowns. Shots weren’t there, check it down and those checkdowns were huge for us. There were some of them at the end that were A+.”
