Penei Sewell was the highest graded player on the Lions offense (74.8) Sunday.

Defensively, it was Barnes, Penisini, Jacobs and McNeill leading the way.

At least the youth is playing well.

I agree he did settle in after the terrible start, but he also couldn’t have graded out that well in the run game either. They had like 30 yards on the ground. Seems high to me, but Jonah was even higher, and he gave up a season high 4 pressures. So who knows.

This to me shows how biased PFF is. There's no way you could watch that game and give Sewell that high of a grade. He did improve some as the game went on but he was dominated in the first half. He had holding calls on him and should have had numerous other ones. 

You would think having to hold (but it not getting called) would also count against a player if they're going to count a player being on the ground too much or getting beat but it being a positive play against them.
