STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

LaPorta held to minimal production in red zone struggles.

LaPorta was held to just two catches for an undisclosed yardage total (part of five catches for 41 yards across the entire game for him and Isaac TeSlaa combined). The source notes this limited production may have been due to red zone targets not getting open, contributing to the Lions' struggles in the red zone and their reliance on field goals.
