MIAMI (AP) — It was New Year’s Day 2006 when Frank Gore first became a 100-yard rusher. And he still is one Jerome Baker Jersey , which could spell trouble Sunday for the Detroit Lions.The ageless 35-year-old Gore had his most productive day of the season last week when he ran for 101 yards to help the Miami Dolphins beat the Chicago Bears in overtime. Now the Lions must tackle the challenge of facing the NFL’s leading active rusher.Detroit has a leaky run defense, and Miami will again be without quarterback Ryan Tannehill , which could mean another busy day for Gore.“He’s definitely a guy they can kind of rally behind,” Lions coach Matt Patricia said. “Frank has done an unbelievable job of taking care of his body and executing at a high level for a long time. He has an edge about him that has been able to carry him all the way through his career. He’s always proving everybody wrong.”While the Dolphins (4-2) will try to beat an NFC North team for the second week in a row, the Lions (2-3) are coming off a bye and three games into a stretch of 10 consecutive games against opponents now at .500 or better.Here are things to know about teams meeting for only the 12th time:THIRTEEN SEASONS LATERGore was a 22-year-old rookie when he first ran for 100 yards for San Francisco in the final game of the 2005 season, and last week he did it for the 46th time. That made him the fifth player since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 to have a 100-yard rushing game past age 34, joining Emmitt Smith, Marcus Allen, John Riggins and MacArthur Lane.“I told him I wish I could have played with him 10 years ago,” teammate Ja’Wuan James said, “just to see how that would have been.”By one measure Gore is actually better now. Sharing carries with Kenyan Drake, he has an average of 4.9 yards per carry this season, his best since 2009.“You can’t think about age,” Gore said. “You’ve got to continue like you’re a young man out there.”He might be able to do that against the Lions, who gave up 152 yards rushing to Ezekiel Elliott, 138 to Matt Breida, and 102 to Isaiah Crowell. Patricia’s defense ranks third worst in yards rushing allowed per carry and per game.While Gore battered the Bears, Brock Osweiler threw for a career-high 380 yards subbing for Tannehill, sidelined with a throwing shoulder injury.Handing off to Gore was a kick Andrew Van Ginkel Miami Dolphins Jerseys , Osweiler said.“That’s something I’ll never forget,” he said. “Watching a future Hall of Famer from the field level is pretty special.”NO SWEAT?While the Lions are 0-2 on the road, the Dolphins have won their first three home games for first time since 2002. Last week, Miami rallied from an 11-point deficit in the final 16 minutes of regulation against the Bears, who tired in 89-degree sunshine.“We like playing at home, I know that,” Dolphins coach Adam Gase said. “We like it hot. The other team wears down eventually, and we just keep fighting.”The forecast for Sunday is 87 in Miami, compared with 47 in Detroit. Of course, the Lions play indoors at home.“We’re not going down there to play the weather,” Lions safety Glover Quin said. “We’re playing the Dolphins.”BALL HAWKSThe Dolphins have never led the NFL in interceptions, not even in the days of Jake Scott and Dick Anderson. But they rank first this week with 11, two more than they had all of last season.“We’re just hungry for the ball,” safety Reshad Jones said.The secondary will be tested by one of the NFL’s best trios of wideouts, and by Matt Stafford, who threw four interceptions in opener but has only one since.INCONSISTENTThe Lions recovered from an awful start with wins over Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers . If they play to the level of their competition, that would be good, because their next seven opponents are 22-11-1.“We can play with and beat anybody,” Quin said. “But we can also be beaten by anybody.”REAL ESTATEMichigan native Gase and his wife lived in Dearborn when he was a Lions assistant in 2003-07. They sold their house there just in the past couple of years Miami Dolphins Jerseys 2019 , although Gase is fuzzy on details of the transaction.“I just remember my wife rented it out, and then that was the last thing I heard about it, and then all of a sudden she was like, ‘Hey, I sold the house,'” Gase said. “I’m kind of not real good with the economic aspect of anything, so that’s on her.” Connor McGovern, G/C, Penn St.McGovern is really talented lineman that brings a lot of versatility to any offensive line. I think he’s shown good progression throughout his career and has a high ceiling. I like his quickness and balance he shows and I think he uses his hands effectively. His pass blocking stands out to me as one of his strengths. I’d like to see him a little more aggressive in the run and he needs to latch unto defenders better, but McGovern has potential to be an NFL starter very early in his career.Jawaan Taylor, OT, FloridaTaylor is a quick OT that does a good job of latching unto defenders. I think he’s pretty aware too. He’s always looking for stuns and delayed blitzers. Even though he’s pretty quick, I did see him struggle at times with speed rushers though. However, he usually had the ability to push them past the QB; but the fact is he got beat. Now, he’s got the ability to be a really good pass blocker but again, he’s inconsistent in this area. I think he needs to get stronger and work on his base. As for run blocking, I think he does a good job of eliminating defenders on plays but I’d like to see him drive more and be more aggressive. Overall, I am not as high on him as others are, mainly because of his inconsistencies Andrew Van Ginkel Jersey nfl draft , but he’s clearly got talent and potential to be a good NFL tackle.

He’s the definition of a playmaker; extremely fast, soft hands, elite balance and a tough running style. The main thing that is going to hurt him is his size – 5’-8” 200 lbs. There really isn’t much I could find that I didn’t like about Thompson. He’s a shifty back with deadly speed that can take it to the house anytime he touches the ball.

He’s such a smooth runner – it looks like it just comes naturally to him. He can get to top speed pretty quickly and has soft hands. I also was pretty impressed with his route running. I think he cuts well, has tremendous body control and again his smooth running style helps him not only run fast but run clean routes. I really like Hall and think he would be an awesome addition to the Miami offense.

I am writing about him though simply because he’s become one of my favorite players to watch. He’s got everything you look for in a RB – size, toughness, soft hands, good speed, terrific motor. I could go on and on about him. If he declares, many believe he could be the first RB taken. Photo by Joel Auerbach/Getty Images
