Pass First, Ask Questions Later: Lions Defeat Cincy In First Pre-Season Match
The St. Louis Lions eeked out a victory last night, and you have to give this victory to the mad scientist, Mike Martz. The Lions scored 17 unanswered points to end the fourth quarter and steal a win against the Bengals. Sure it was the pre-season, and the Lions took advantage of a late in the game onside kick, but we’ll take the win.
The amazing Lion’s offense threw 47 passes (completing 30) for 489 passing yards. With Kevin Johnson on the bench, the Lions running game was sluggish, compiling only 59 yards rushing on 19 attempts. Kitna and the first string did not really perform that well, but the second and third string offense, run by JT O’Sullivan (who?) and Dan Orlovsky stepped up when called upon.
We aren’t going to get too excited (after all, it’s the first pre-season game) but the “Pass First, Ask Questions Later” offense that the Lions ran on Thursday looked pretty darn good. We know it won’t last. Or will it? We can hardly wait for the next pre-season game.
