Positive signalMatchup

Gibbs' edge-running attack exploits Patriots' weak perimeter run defense.

Gibbs has a favorable matchup attacking the edge against the Patriots' run defense in Week 10. The Patriots allow explosive runs on 10.9% of attempts (20th), have allowed 22 rushes over 10 yards, and average 3.31 yards allowed after contact (24th). The Lions run the ball on the edges 55.7% of the time (7th), lead the NFL in explosive run plays (16.5%), have 33 rushes of 10+ yards (3rd), and average 3.15 yards after contact (10th). When the Patriots blitz—which they do 40.1% of the time (6th most)—their EDGE players are more skilled as pass rushers and can be overwhelmed in the run game, creating space for Gibbs to attack the perimeter.
