What a difference a week in the NFL makes.
After dropping their season opener to the Philadelphia Eagles last week by a narrow margin, the Detroit Lions bounced back in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders, evening up their record and doing it in impressive fashion. The Lions were up 22-0 at halftime, holding Washington to just 39 net yards of offense in the first half, and it was Detroit’s offense that picked up the slack in the second half when their defense sprung a leak.
As we’re going to do all season long here at Pride of Detroit, we’re going to take a peek at some of the premium statistics Pro Football Focus has to offer in an effort to better understand who this football team was against the Commanders, who they might be moving forward, and what they need to do in order to take the next step.
