This was also a revelation game for Sione Vaki. His pass protection was a weapon for Detroit's offense, because the Jets defense was relentless in their A-gap pressure. But Vaki was versatile enough not to give away the play call when he was in there. He toted the rock six times in the run game—producing a successful run on four of them.

Vaki's pass protection and versatility shine; potential solution to Gibbs' weakness.

Vaki was a revelation game for Detroit, with his pass protection serving as a weapon against the Jets' relentless A-gap pressure. He was versatile enough not to give away the play call when in the game, toted the rock six times in the run game producing a successful run on four of them, and did a nice job maximizing yardage on an 11-yard catch. The source notes Vaki's pass protection will be a bonus against teams like the Vikings, who exploited Gibbs' weakness as a pass protector.
