Halftime adjustments

The Lions coaching staff failed its players and fans last Sunday. San Diego was able to see Detroit’s defense and adjusted in a quarter. Detroit never countered and saw a game slip away.
The Same goes for the offense.
The o-line looked confused on assignments and not calling for plays to get Megatron and Abdullah eventually did them in.
Detroit is going to have to be aware of Adrian Peterson at all times and not miss assignments filling gaps.
Teddy Bridgewater is also not Phillip Rivers, if you want to bring the heat on a 2nd year quarterback that’s fine, but if the Vikings start chipping away with Kyle Rudolph and Charles Johnson, Teryl Austin is going to have to fall back.
