For the third game in a row to begin the 2024 season, the Detroit Lions defense has allowed 20 or fewer points. Yep. Pinch yourself, Detroit. This defense has the makings of being a really strong unit.
And while there are still certainly details to be ironed out over time, you have to be pleased with where they currently are this early in the year. Especially when you consider where they were last year, and how many new faces are in starting roles this season.
It takes time for a defense to gel, particularly on the back end.
