Allen Park — If there's been a roster deficiency the Detroit Lions have yet to address this offseason, it's the team's subpar run defense from a year ago.
For all the improvements Detroit made defensively down the stretch of the 2022 campaign, stopping the run wasn't among them. The team allowed 5.2 yards per carry during a historically-bad five-game stretch to open the season, but also 5.2 yards per carry in the final 11 contests, after making schematic and personnel tweaks, which otherwise contributed to reduced scoring and the team's 8-2 record in the final 10 weeks.
