Catch this episode on Pewter Report’s YouTube channel, PewterReportTV where Josh takes you through the flow of the third downs throughout the game for the Bucs defense. It was a meeting of two excellent football minds when Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson faced off with Bucs head coach and defensive play-caller Todd Bowles.
Bucs Had The Upper Hand In The Early Third Down Matchups
You’ll see how early in the game Bowles deployed man-heavy schemes to shut down the Lions’ third-down passing attack. Jamel Dean, Lavonte David and Carlton Davis III were all targeted in man coverage and all did their jobs well.
Lions Attacked The Middle of the Field

As the game wore on the Bucs transitioned to more zone coverages and Johnson and the Lions’ defense started to find more success in the middle of the field, converting more third downs and sustaining longer drives.
The Knockout Punch
Josh uses all of that to pose the theory that Johnson lured Bowels into putting more traffic in the middle to defend the Lions and Johnson was ready with the final nail in the coffin that ended up being a 45-yard bomb from quarterback Jared Goff to receiver Jameson Williams.
