Willis had 2 scrambles for 7 yards. The stat itself isn't as striking as watching them happen. Willis is a dynamic runner, and we have seen him make big plays with his legs this season. But in the past 2 games, he has been reluctant to run.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Willis sacked 3 times; limited scramble ability (2 for 7 yards) reflects injury-hampered escape.

Willis had 2 scrambles for 7 yards against Detroit, continuing a trend of reluctance to run in the past 2 games. The source attributes this to the groin injury limiting his ability to escape pressure and run with the explosiveness he showed earlier in the season. Willis was sacked 3 times, with 2 attributed to his inability to escape like he wants to, and he was under assault all game long with several plays where he was flushed from the pocket and couldn't find an open pass catcher.
