Off the snap, it was a timely call with the Bills blitzing one of their field-side linebacker, who forces Gibbs to transition his run fake to pass protection rather quickly. The 4i player (#94, Landon Jackson) wins the rep. Buffalo could run whatever games it wanted to attack the A-B gaps with their stunts, if Borom does not let the 4i cross to the C-gap, then Gibbs would have been given an outside alley outflanking the aggressive defensive scheme.

Gibbs forced into quick pass protection on opening play; blocked run went for no gain.

Gibbs was involved in the Lions' opening drive against Buffalo on a play-action call where he was forced to transition his run fake to pass protection quickly due to the Bills blitzing one of their field-side linebackers. On the second-and-8 outside zone run play, Gibbs would have been given an outside alley outflanking the aggressive defensive scheme if right tackle Larry Borom had properly executed his blocking assignment against the 4i-technique defender, but Borom's mistake resulted in no gain on the play.
