The latest episode of the Lone Wolves podcast delves into the Detroit Lions’ unexpected loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Lions deviated from their usual running game strategy, with quarterback Jared Goff attempting 55 passes while running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery had only 13 and 11 carries, respectively.

One major factor in Detroit’s defeat was their poor performance in the red zone, managing just one touchdown on seven attempts.

Co-host Christian Booher criticized the play-calling, noting it lacked creativity in crucial situations. Despite a solid effort in moving the ball, the Lions’ failure to convert in the red zone was disappointing.

Booher highlighted that the Lions’ inability to score touchdowns in the red zone resulted in missed opportunities, as they settled for field goals instead of seizing chances for seven points.

With Ben Johnson’s offense known for its high power and creativity, Booher found the repeated failures in the red zone particularly inexcusable.

The podcast also covers the overall solid defensive performance despite the loss, along with other insights into the Lions’ game. For those interested in future analyses, subscribing to the Lone Wolves podcast is recommended.
