DER GEGNER
Die Detroit Lions (1-1) starteten erfolgreich in die neue Saison und bezwangen die Superbowl-Champions Kansas City Chiefs in einem spektakulären Spiel knapp mit 21:20. Überzeugen konnte vor allem Amon-Ra St. Brown. Der 23-jährige Deutsch-Amerikaner eröffnete die neue Spielzeit mit dem ersten Touchdown. Insgesamt kam St. Brown auf sechs gefangene Pässe für 71 Yards - zweitbester Wert der Partie hinter Teamkollege Josh Reynolds (80 Yards).
Nach der Überraschung gegen den Titelverteidiger erlitten die Lions einen Rückschlag. Bei der Heimpremiere im Ford Field mussten sich die Lions den Seattle Seahawks (31:37) nach Verlängerung geschlagen geben.
Head Coach Arthur Smith sprach über den Härtetest, der seine Mannschaft erwartet: "Wir wissen, dass wir auswärts in Detroit vor einer großen Herausforderung stehen. Ich bin mir sicher, dass das Stadion rocken wird. Es wird laut mit viel Energie im Stadion. Wir müssen bereit sein loszulegen."
Smith fügte seine Einschätzung zu Lions QB Jared Goff hinzu:
"Er ist ein guter Spieler, der meiner Meinung nach sehr unterschätzt wird. Er war der Nummer-1-Pick und hat ganz klar eine Elite-Skillset. Dieser Kerl ist ein verdammt guter Footballspieler. Er war ein verdammt guter Spieler für die Rams und ist jetzt ein verdammt guter Spieler für Detroit. Er hat eine Menge Spiele gewonnen und ein Team zum Super Bowl geführt."
DAS PERSONAL
Der ehemalige Cornerback der Lions, Jeff Okudah, kehrt zum ersten Mal seit seinem Wechsel von Detroit nach Atlanta in der Offseason nach Ford Field zurück. Okudah hat die ersten beiden Spiele wegen einer Sprunggelenksverletzung verpasst. Aber die Falcons sind optimistisch, dass er in Detroit sein Debüt feiern wird, nachdem er letzte Woche zum Training zurückgekehrt ist.
Inside Linebacker Troy Andersen, der kürzlich eine Gehirnerschütterung erlitten hat, hat auch mittrainiert. Das bedeutet nicht, dass Andersen das Gehirnerschütterungsprotokoll überstanden hat, aber Coach Smith sagte am Mittwoch, dass er ein gutes Gefühl hat.
