Lions Week 12 Player of the Game: Bo Scarbough

In a game that needed an offensive spark from any Lions player, Bo Scarbrough appeared to be the only one who answered the call.

The Detroit Lions had yet another disappointing loss in Week 12, this time to a now 2-9 Washington team.

The Lions had errors in all three phases of the game, and after a very quiet start offensively for the Lions, the second half started and running back Bo Scarbrough emerged.

Scarbrough carried the ball 18 times for 98 yards — just can’t seem to break that 100-yard mark — averaging 5.4-yards per carry, including a long of 30-yards. In a game that needed an offensive spark from any Lions player, Scarbrough appeared to be the only one who answered the call.

Simply put:

Scarbrough has been a workhorse on the ground and while he hasn’t been lighting the world on fire, he’s been steady and finds himself among rare company in Lions history.

In a game where positives were hard to come by, Scarbrough was the easy choice for Lions Wire’s Week 12, Player of The Game.
