So how are the Lions running the ball so well. I thought Davis was the second coming and was so good he would allow them to play 10 DBs.

We've been rotating him, he wasnt on the field for the 50 yarder or the 12 yarder. He was there on that stonewall though

Only one was questionable, imo. He may have been inside the tackle box. Though on an obvious running play, are there any rules experts comment on tossing it ahead to avoid the loss?

There were 2 rollouts I saw where he tossed it out of bounds near the sideline but it was close to the LOS. If you’re outside the tackle box does it have to cross the LOS?

Detroit played those RPOs really well and had him dead to rights near the sideline. That’s tough on the defense if they can play it well like that and the QB is able to just toss the ball out of bounds to avoid the loss. Are the lineman upfield by that point? It seems like the play is a run at that point and it gives the offense an easy get out of jail free card if he’s allowed to just toss it out of bounds behind the LOS.

He hasn't been in much. The Eagles rotate DLine. The Lions 2 strengths are O and D line. Not much besides that though.
