The Lions are running a Stack Mills (Dbl Post) against the 49ers' weak rotation Cover 3 (Cross).

Weak Safety rolls into the Post, leaving the Cross (St. Brown) wide open.

Goff reads leverage & throws the one the Safety doesn't take open. #ArtofX pic.twitter.com/pj6ipbnr8c

Nice Box beater by the Lions vs. the 49ers.

St. Brown trails the vertical & splits the box, sitting down once the flat defender pushes too wide.

Goff hits him perfectly so he can still see the Seam defender & make a move.

DET seemed to make all their 1H 3rd Downs.#ArtofX pic.twitter.com/Zmt2US3GcI

I get that Detroit kept getting in their own way in the second half, but how much did SF change on defense between the first and second half? Those videos look like they were both early in the game.
