Notable

Clark’s Crew has a history of calling more penalties on the Home Team than the Visitors, which does not bode well for the Lions this week. In addition, there has been a history of strong emphasis on Offensive Penalties (Holding and False Start) by volume, so Lions will need to play pretty clean. Last week, the hyper-agressive Tampa defense was repeatedly guilty of offside and Roughing the passer.
