Lions don't seem motivated. Almost look like they've played the game in prevent

Durrant is picking them apart. The front four need to push more and flush him out of the pocket. That foot isn't bothering him.

Not broken but definitely getting bent too much.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Durant and the Riders are attacking the middle of the Lions' defence.

Nice catch Geroy.
