Lions Have Night "Mares" With the Colts

The Lions entered the week 1 game with high hopes that QB Brent Blaylock could lead his team to a victory, but that effort would fall short. 
The Lions offensive woes continued from last season as the team struggled to cement a running game for the young signal caller. FA RB Jay Ajayi had a very rough game to start the season, and if not for a late 30 yard run in the 4th he would have totaled a mere 12 yards for the game.

Coach Matt Madden had this to say after the game..
Well we played pretty poorly tonight on both sides of the ball, and really need focus on getting our running game going. Ajayi was a little slow tonight and didnt have the pop he had showed in practice. The young Spurlock and some good runs last night, and I think it would be safe to say he has earned the right to start our next game in LA vs the Rams.
We'll take it day to day and see what happens. Our Defense needs to work on getting the offense off the field on 3rd downs and saw the Colts convert on a few long 3rd down tries.
We'll just hit it hard in practice and the film room and see if we can't get this thing moving in the right direction.

Thanks

Well lets hope our Lions can turn it around and make a run to the playoffs this season. Stay tuned for more Lions Den News
