A good old fashioned spanking took place in the Motor City in the first
round of the tournament. The 1981 Lions dominated in all facets of the
game from the get go in the 63-13 rout of the 2014 Panthers.
The offense scored 21 points in EACH of the first three quarters, before coach Pryweller took out all the starters. Billy Sims rushed for 133 yards on only 14 carries (9.5 yards per carry) and scored three touchdowns, while WR Freddie Scott led receivers with 114 yards and a TD. Detroit's great rushing attack netted 212 total yards to only 250 passing yards. Detroit alternated between QB's Eric Hipple and Gary Danielson, with Hipple tossing three short TD passes.
Meanwhile, Carolina could get nothing done, settling for six points until a TD late in the game with the scrubs playing. Carolina was guilty of five fumbles, and Cam Newton was intercepted twice before being pulled for Derek Anderson. The Panthers only managed 121 passing yards and 221 total yards.
The Lions will try to keep restoring the roar in the next round.
