Defensive Changes : Same Den, New Detroit Lions

Just to review, a heinous hail mary cost the Lions a chance to sweep the season series with the Packers in Week 13. They flew to London in Week 8 and allowed 340 yards in a loss to a then (1-5) Chiefs team (45-10) and the Cardinals produced a whopping 28 point second quarter in their Week 5 (42-17) victory against Detroit. The Lions inability to stop the pass in 2015 did two things : keep QB Matthew Stafford in 3rd & long situations and nullify the power running attack with former Lion HB Joique Bell. Fortunately to resolve some issues, Instead of just talking like former GM Mark Mayhew and former President Tom Lewand, newly hired Chief of staff Kevin Anderson and GM Bob Quinn decided to keep it business as usual and are already showing prove in free agency.
