    Tom Brady LOVES Detroit Lions offense vs. Dallas Cowboys

    Vaseline Posted on

    Tom Brady likes the Detroit Lions offense.

    The Lions dug deep into the playbook to take a two-touchdown lead over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon in Arlington, Texas.

    Early in the second quarter, with the Lions up 10–3 at midfield, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson called a double reverse flea flicker that ended up being a 52-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Sam LaPorta.

    Goff turned the ball to David Montgomery, who turned it back to Amon-Ra St. Brown, who handed it back to Goff, and the quarterback fired a charge to the wide-open tight end down the sideline. LaPorta initially blocked, then leaked down the right sideline, caught the ball around the 30-yard line and outpaced the defense for his first score of the season.

    During the Fox broadcast, Brady, a Hall of Fame quarterback and first-year color commentator, was enamored with the Lions’ creativity and execution.

    “Come on,” Brady said. “If you don’t enjoy watching that, you don’t have a heartbeat.”

    After the commercial break, he explained why he was so impressed with the Lions’ offense, starting with Johnson’s play calling and system under head coach Dan Campbell.

    “I would love to be the quarterback in this offense, it’s just so much fun,” said a giddy Brady. “Again, there’s a lot of variety to choose from. … So when I look at this offense, it reminds me of what a great offense should be in the NFL. This is a great blueprint, they stand a lot under center. A lot of it is play-action passing, a lot of it is deception, so it really slows down the defense, and you see the benefits of it.”

    The touchdown, which drew some audible “Jared Goff” chants from the Lions contingent at AT&T Stadium, was the same play design as LaPorta’s touchdown last season against the Carolina Panthers from his record-breaking rookie year.

    The Lions upped the score in the decimated Cowboys defense, leading 27-6 at halftime.
