Let’s get this out of the way first and foremost. Yes, the Detroit Lions received a gift from the Green Bay Packers last Sunday, but at least they were opportunistic enough to take advantage of it.
The Lions defense this season can only be described as everything you might expect from this franchise.
They tantalize you with their pass defense which is ranked fifth in the NFL and their 17 sacks which ranks third overall, but then bring the reality of surrendering 145.8 yards a game on the ground each week which ranks dead last. That’s right, a whopping 32nd out of 32 teams.
