After periodic flashes of brilliance early on, Lions rookie EDGE Aidan Hutchinson is starting to find week-to-week consistency as a disruptor. jfmckessy breaks down what's changed in recent weeks and how Hutchinson has been so effective. OnePride
That was an impressive interception too! On a big 4th-and-goal play from the Lions’ 2-yard line, Hutchinson was three and a half yards upfield before realizing the pass was going back toward his side of the field, intended for a lineman who was an eligible receiver. As soon as he saw Rodgers’ hands split to start making the throw, Hutchinson changed direction, breaking back toward the end zone before high-pointing the football and coming down with it in the end zone.
Whether or not it was intentional, the rookie’s decision to snag the interception instead of batting the ball down on fourth down was a really smart play that gave the Lions significantly better field position after a Packers red zone drive. Detroit’s subsequent drive may have ended in a punt, but Hutchinson’s first career pick definitely took the wind out of the sails of Rodgers and the Packers after their second red zone turnover in as many drives to start the game.
Hutchinson wasn’t done demoralizing his opponents after Week 9 though. His Week 10 game against the Bears featured the production in the more familiar “tackles for a loss” and “sacks” categories in some crucial moments for Detroit’s defense. On a big, 2nd-and-goal play for the Bears from the 1-yard line, Chicago put the ball in the hands of lead running back David Montgomery. Despite the play call being to the opposite side of where Hutchinson lined up, the rookie made a phenomenal play on the ball, scraping across the line of scrimmage then wrapping up and tossing Montgomery backward for a huge tackle for a loss to force third down.
To reiterate, Hutchinson shot across the entire offensive formation to make a play before Montgomery could even get back to the line of scrimmage. The instincts and athletic ability it takes to make that play are unbelievable for anyone, let alone a rookie edge rusher on a goal-line stand. The Bears may have scored a play later thanks to the magician that is quarterback
