The superb productivity levels obtained by Colts' Michael Pittman and Raiders' Davante Adams are telling.
Both guys rank top-10 in receiving yards largely because they excel at tracking the ball in the air.
They are, in these respects, similar to Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown whose involvement in the Lion offense correlates with higher Lion scoring outputs.
But Jacksonville's pass attack will also enjoy a lot of success.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been exceedingly efficient and productive against the NFL's lowest-ranked pass defenses -- see the Raven and Raider games for examples.
In terms of pass defense quality, Detroit will be Lawrence's softest test.
