how hutchinsons injury is gonna effect the lions game this weekend
Article by: cash veldkamp
The Lions just lost their amazing pass rusher Aiden Hutchinson due to a broken leg in their crazy 47 to 9 win against the Cowboys.
Losing Hutchinson is gonna cost the Lions a lot verses the 5-0 Vikings this weekend, Sam Darnold the Vikings veteran quarterback has been having a great year and even is in the MVP conversation, their gonna need to put as much pressure on Darnold as possible in order to limit the passing game and that will be hard to do with Hutchinson out plus the Vikings have allowed the 9th best offensive line in the league right now which will make it even harder for the Lions to bring pressure.
Another big thing the Lions are gonna have to overcome is the Vikings elusive running back Aaron Jones who has been out last game but has had some good games this season, he could definitely be a threat to the Lions defense.
The Lions are gonna have to watch for the outside run because the Vikings are gonna be attacking his side of the field and it’s up to Hutchinson’s replacement to stop the run.
Despite of Hutchinson’s injury we still have some great guys on the Defensive line that can step up and make plays Alim McNeill lead the team in sacks with 2 sacks on Dak Prescott. Also DJ Reader their DT is gonna get a lot more snap this week with Hutchinson out Reader has had some good seasons and if he can step up and make some plays it will be a huge help for this defense.
Although Hutchinson’s out the Lions still have a good chance at the Super Bowl if some guys can step up and make some plays.
