What Each Team Does Well and Where It Has Problems
Jacksonville Jaguars
What Jacksonville Does Best
The best thing Jacksonville has going for it is Trevor Lawrence. The 82.0 QB Stability grade gives the offense room to survive mistakes around him.
What Still Needs Work
Explosiveness is Jacksonville's lowest grade at 79.0. The offense can function, but it still needs too many snaps to create the same field position other teams find in one play.
Detroit Lions
What Detroit Does Best
Jahmyr Gibbs sits at the center of an offense that can score in more than one way. The 88.5 Offense grade shows a unit that can adjust when defenses take away the first option.
What Still Needs Work
Recent Performance is Detroit's lowest grade at 80.1. The team has been least convincing in interior pressure or injury-heavy games that take away the run game and force Goff off his spot.
