It’d been the same for 34 games. The Detroit Lions would force, at best, one interception. Despite being led by a defensive-minded head coach in Matt Patricia, Detroit just couldn’t force turnovers.
They couldn’t create the game-changing plays necessary to win games. Going into Sunday against Arizona, it figured to be more of the same. Kyler Murray was playing at a good pace, completing two-thirds of his passes and generally making the right reads.
However, within three drives in Detroit’s 26-23 win over Arizona, the Lions had done something they never have under Patricia.
