PLAYER TO WATCH: OFFENSE[/custom_headline]
Guard Trai Turner made his NFL debut playing a number of snaps against Tampa’s two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle
Gerald McCoy. The Lions present an even greater challenge with their dangerous duo of
Ndamukong Suh and
Nick Fairley. Turner needs to be at least as solid as he was in Week 1,
even if he puts on the wrong shorts again.[custom_headline type=”center” level=”h3″ looks_like=”h3″]
PLAYER TO WATCH: DEFENSE[/custom_headline]
Cornerback Antoine Cason didn’t get as much credit as he deserved for his Week 1 performance. He racked up an interception and the second-most tackles of his seven-year career (9). This week, both head coach
Ron Rivera and defensive coordinator
Sean McDermott said they’re seeing more of the San Diego Cason than the guy who didn’t start a game in Arizona last year. He won’t be on receiver
Calvin Johnson the entire game, but as the Panthers’ No. 1 cornerback, Cason will play a big role against the Lions’ multi-faceted attack.
