It’s no coincidence the best defense the Detroit Lions have fielded in the past two decades — the 2014 unit that carried the team to 11 regular-season wins and a playoff appearance — also happened to have the best defensive line ever to call Ford Field its home.
Ndamukong Suh had 8.5 sacks that season. Ziggy Ansah brought steady pressure off the edge. George Johnson gave the line a lift out of nowhere.
