That game might be the most pronounced example of the Lions struggles in getting the running game going during the time Jim Bob Cooter was the Lions OC.  The Lions had 14 rushing yards the entire game!  The season ending / career altering foot injury Ameer Abdullah suffered in week # 2 vs. Tennessee that season contributed substantially to the Lions running game problems.  But to be held to 14 yards rushing in an entire game ( great job by the Jags Defense ) is inevitably going to take its toll on the passing game.

That wasn't the game where Senderick Marks jumped off sides on a 4th down was it?

Yes.  That was a rare time that afternoon in which the Jags Run Defense didn't come through for the overall team.  Great job by Matthew Stafford on that play.
