Early in the game, it felt like the Lions' tight ends were largely responsible for some protection busts. Sam LaPorta and Tyler Conklin looked directly responsible for one sack each in the first half.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

LaPorta responsible for first-half sack, but unit rebounded with strong second-half blocking.

LaPorta looked directly responsible for one sack in the first half due to protection busts; however, the tight end unit rebounded in the second half when the Lions used one or two tight ends in the backfield to neutralize the Vikings pass rush and open up rushing lanes.
