It's Week 9 of the NFL season and we're going around the NFC North with our On SI colleagues to answer two questions. First, we asked writers to identify an unsung hero. Second, we asked writers to explain one major key to victory this week.: While we've been singing the praises of Sam Darnold, Aaron Jones, Justin Jefferson and Andrew Van Ginkel, one guy who deserves more credit for what he's done this season is edge rusher Jonathan Greenard.
By our count, he broke 10 tackles during the game, including two on a 38-yard touchdown. The Lions are a team without weakness, but their run defense is at least a little vulnerable. If Jacobs can consistently gain 3, 4 or 5 yards, he’ll keep the offense in advantageous situations for whoever starts at quarterback. —This honor has to go to Kalif Raymond. Mr. Do-It-All, as Dan Campbell views him, nearly broke the NFL record for punt returns in a game and also added a receiving touchdown.
