From the episode

the lions, they don't, they bracketed Michael Wilson in that game. That's why Wilson didn't get shit done in a game that was like, what was like, he was going to smoke, you know, the, the lions defense... he's got more defensive attention the last two weeks with Marv gone.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Wilson faced heavy defensive attention after Harrison trade; Lions bracketed him.

Michael Wilson was bracketed by the Lions defense in a game where he was expected to perform well, limiting his production; in the following week, Wilson received more defensive attention with Marvin Harrison gone, suggesting defenses are now focusing on him rather than spreading coverage across multiple receivers.
