LaPorta key to two-TE scheme countering Vikings' aggressive blitzing.
LaPorta played 67 snaps (93%) and was central to the Lions' offensive scheme adjustment against the Vikings' aggressive blitzing. Offensive coordinator Drew Petzing deployed LaPorta and Brock Wright in the backfield using inside trap blocking to counter the Vikings' 'double mug' blitzing concepts, with the Lions utilizing 13 personnel (three tight end sets) 16 times against Minnesota and achieving a 73.7% success rate.
