On Sunday night against the Houston Texans, Detroit Lions cornerback Carlton Davis had one of the best games of his seven-year career. The two second-half interceptions were game-changing, but his performance went beyond that. Per PFF, he also produced the team’s second-highest run defense grade (86.9), making two key stops in that phase of the game. In total, Davis allowed just two catches on five targets for only 16 yards, all while earning PFF’s highest grade of the week for a cornerback (91.3).
This offseason, the Lions revamped their cornerback room and the first move they made was to send a third-round pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Davis.
