Lions show signs of defensive progress over past month

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Darius Slay broke on the ball almost as soon as Josh Rosen let it go. He’d been battling an injury in the game -- and has seemingly been on and off the injury report for much of the past month -- but that didn’t matter. He stepped in front of the pass, clutched his hands on the ball and took off.

He reached the end zone 67 yards later, celebrating his first NFL touchdown and giving the Lions what would be an insurmountable lead for an Arizona offense flailing for most of the day.
